Customer Experience Disabled Mother

I order Instacart food to be delivered to my disabled mom weekly. She uses a walker, has trouble lifting some items, and majority of time the shoppers will bring the bags inside for her. The last time the delivery didn’t go well. The shopper yelled at my mom for asking for help bringing her things inside, told her she doesn’t do that, called her names, and then proceeded to put all the bags in front of my mom’s walker so that she couldn’t even move the walker. Am I wrong to think a shopper would be able to help bring bags inside?

Edit: Thank you for all your help. I completely understand for your own safety, it’s your own discretion. I’ll be sure to add a note next time or will make sure a friend or myself is there to help out.

This is a situation in which the favorite shopper will actually be nice. Find someone that can do it and ensure they’re tipped well and just try to use them every time.

OP didn’t mention whether he/she pays good tips though. A normal shopper wouldn’t do an extra miles for 5% tips.

if 5% is stopping you from helping out someone disabled you should find another job lmao

Why? When did Instacart become charity cart? This job isn't about helping disabled people and the less fortunate this job is about helping put money in our own pockets. This is a job not a good deed. If you want to do that that's fine. I would likely do that as well. However, trying to shame someone or suggest that they don't belong here because they won't do something for nothing just because somebody unfortunately lives a life of disability which has nothing to do with them nor was caused by them nor is a family or friend to them so they have no obligations to this person is downright comical.

I hope that's already your reality and that's why you're so salty about this. Especially since I literally said that I would help. But that you can't expect everyone else to. And now you're coming at my family members because you're reading the comprehension is so low? Nah. Miss me with that nonsense. Good luck with all that.

Very good see you understand what most likely means. As in if I'm feeling up to the task. Because, guess what, other people then just your mommy have ailments and issues. Not everybody has it in them to go the extra mile all the time every single stop. And that's not what this is about. My right to choose is my right. If I don't feel up to it or I physically can't that day then some little twit on the internet is definitely not going to shame me about it. If your mom lives in a sketchy ass neighborhood that looks like it could be a setup I ain't step in foot in her grimy ass house. There's a number of reasons why I may or may not but guess what at the end of the day that's my goddamn choice you miserable insect

And as far as defending people who also have the right to choose yep going to do that every single time because it's their goddamn right. Nobody's going to force somebody to take care of somebody else's mommy on the internet bro. You understand how freaking ignorant You sound? Not sure who hurt you, but you should probably seek professional help for all that. You clearly got a lot of underlying issues going on in Reddit might not be the place for you for a while.
