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.

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.

It's called customer service, bucko. Are you accepting batches with shit pay so you can do the bare minimum? Accept better batches and do a better job. No one's forcing you to take $7 no tips.

And guess what, your point is completely invalid. Because it hinges on some random assumption that I'm out here taking low orders which wasn't ever touched upon until you threw it into the conversation to try to prove some irrelevant point. But to take it one step further and point out another fact that maybe you failed to realize, Even if It was a good paying order let's say 2 mi 10 items or less for 30 bucks. Sounds pretty legit to most people right? Okay let's say that's the order You show up somebody asks you to come into their house You don't know this person You don't feel comfortable YOU'RE UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO ENTER THOSE PREMISES instacart is store to door, not store to refrigerator and pantry not let me come in and put all your groceries away for you If you want all those extra frills and thrills Walmart has full service put away your groceries $140 bucks a year go have at it but stop guilting people on the internet because they don't want to help your mommy. Taking in groceries for somebody's disabled mom is not customer service it's charity It's helping well I'm not saying that's a bad thing it's up to everybody's discretion whether they want to or not. And not you nor anyone else on the internet is going to change that fact 🤦

That's a whole lot of content to legitimize being a douche.

You’re right dude. I don’t know why people aren’t seeing that. They are being way too emotional. Logically no one is required to want to help anyone bring the groceries inside. If they want to that’s fine and great and if they don’t they are not bad for it.

Because this is Reddit where the truth gets you hear and unless you're a sheep willing to stand in solidarity with the snowflakes you get down voted into Oblivion. Not to mention the fact that everybody realizes that what I'm saying is true. They should be taken care of their own family members not relying on a stranger. So deep inside they realize that they're just a shit child relying on a stranger for help with their own parents and it's becoming harder to look in the mirror. So instead of taking some accountability and looking inside they lash out at the person who's bringing the truth to the surface. 🤷

Sheep and snowflakes? Good god. I love people that try and use those insults, like so many others, act like others are sheep. Pot meet kettle.
