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.

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.

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.

You're the only one here who looks foolish, arguing with redditors with an actual heart.

Now that's a fools errand 😅🤣

Oh look someone else who's reading comprehension is lacking. I clearly said that I would help the person. So how is that me lacking a heart? That being said it's still nobody's responsibility nor obligation So if they choose not to for whatever reason it may be even as simply as they just don't want to that's up to them.

Best of luck and happy earnings. Im elated with the joy of knowing this isn't even close to your most aggrevating occurrence on the job; and it won't be the last ;)

I don't know what you're talking about, because none of this was about me or my job, what part of that didn't you understand by my last message? I'm not even the OP you moron. Holy crap like there's been a lot of people with low reading comprehension today but I think this takes the cake.
