Stuff like that only works in a high trust society. Which America is not anymore. Unknown random people coming into your home... What could possibly go wrong?

No thanks. I tried Peapod for a while. The vegetables and fruits weren’t fresh, and many of the foods were at or beyond their experation date. I had to call after every delivery to complain.

No way I’m letting a total stranger into my home. No idea of identity, plus likely a different minimum wage employee each time.

Does Walmart run background checks??

I’m supposed to hide a key?? Give out alarm code?? Or just leave a door unlocked??

I’ve had bad experiences trying to hire a reliable handyman to do yardwork & small repairs around the house even when I’m home.

They wont steal during the shift; they watch & come back another day, because they *think* acting competent & trustworthy on duty will absolve them of all suspicion later.

I get refs from friends. I tell applicants on the phone— BEFORE I give out my address— that when they arrive, I’ll photograph their vehicle & license plate, & I’ll keep these in a permanent file.

Also I’ll need a Xerox of their drivers’ license & current utility bill, as proof of current address.

You’d be surprised how many callers make a quick excuse & hang up.
