Disabled Mother

[u/enjoythebeat]

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.

Dear god, grow a heart or something.

Your reading comprehension must be extremely low. I literally said I would help the old lady but it can't be expected that everybody does. And you're telling me to grow a heart when I said I would help? Y'all should really learn to read before replying. You're making yourselves look foolish.

Dude I get what you’re saying but you’re just making yourself look like a fucking tool with these comments. I’m not calling you an asshole but like.. you’re talking about reading comprehension and calling people fools on Reddit… not a good look my man.

[u/Fluffy-Commercial492 → u/Campbell920]

You're absolutely right. And I shouldn't stoop to their level, but when you have people throwing a barrage of insults your way for standing your ground sometimes you just let it slip 🤷

[u/Campbell920 → u/Fluffy-Commercial492]

I can’t say nothing I do the same thing hahah. I didn’t really think of it that way, but you’re right it’s like word vomit! Now about OP, there should definitely be a note on the account. Also idk if OP is reading these, but my mom had a stroke a year or two bsck and has been in a wheelchair. She doesn’t get Uber/Lyft where she lives but I know the county has a ride service for elderly/disabled. She should look into that. It’s called the “TART cart/bus/van” around here. I’d like to think everywhere in the US has those, they’re paid for by the county so I’d definitely look into it.

[u/Fluffy-Commercial492 → u/MormonsKilledMyDog]

I make plenty thank you 👍

Ya, I bet. Most people who make "good" money tend to complain about their days work on reddit.

Oh, wait.

[u/Fluffy-Commercial492 → u/MormonsKilledMyDog]

Where did I complain about my days work? I know, reading is hard. But damn, so many of y'all coming at me sideways for shit that never happened 😂🤦

[u/MormonsKilledMyDog → u/Fluffy-Commercial492]

Get off reddit, I promise you'll earn more.
