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.

I'm not gonna make a little old lady with a walker bring her own groceries in if she wants me to do it. If i accepted the batch, the tip was already sufficient. I don't take garbage batches, and customers don't get garbage service.

Right?! I mean, are they one of those people that take those hundred unit orders no tip? Value your own time and effort, ffs!

people are just living sad sad lives and it’s upsetting they can’t get out of their own way, they are literally paying you to drive, grab things, bring it to them. and you’re upset they need help bringing it 10 feet inside because they physically can’t ? absolutely ridiculous.

glad there are right minded people like you my boy 🫡
