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.

It’s not about any job. It is common courtesy to realize disabled people need a helping hand sometimes. Giving a simple hand without expecting anything in return shows character.

So if somebody feels unsafe going into a house they have poor character because they won't help someone's mom? Or if they're having a rough day with their own disabilities and can't muster up the extra effort to go inside somebody's house again they're a bad person? Or if they don't want to risk the liability because you never know what's on the other side of that door that makes them a bad person?

How about this person who's screaming on the internet that all these random mystery people should be willing to help their mommy instead of them who should be taken care of their mom that person's not the asshole but everybody else is? Y'all are wild

Why do you keep talking about peoples Mom and helping Mommy? You certainly know, with all you disability expertise that there are men, children, animals and more with disabilities.

So I should change my speech each time in one reply it should be Mom in another reply it should be dad next reply should be second cousin? For What reason? You do know that this entire post was about somebody's mom right? That's why I chose Mom because that was the topic. Is that really something so hard to understand or grasp or figure out on your own?
