A driver for the grocery delivery service Instacart allegedly smashed an elderly couple’s groceries and left a nasty note on their receipt because of their yard sign supporting the local police department.
The incident reportedly took place in Blaine, Minnesota. According to a Facebook post written by a relative, the elderly couple ordered a “carefully budgeted” $50 of groceries to be delivered to their home last Sunday.
“This past year has been a rollercoaster of heartache and big life changes for them. Money is tight. Vulnerability is high,” wrote Amber Gray.
Nothing was amiss until they went outside to meet the driver, Tara, for fear that she might struggle with her vehicle in their snow-covered driveway. When they opened the front door, Tara yelled at them to check their Christmas wreath while rocking her vehicle back and forth in the driveway.
At first the couple thought she might have been stuck, but then they read the note she had allegedly written on their receipt: “Instacart doesn’t pay employees sry [sic] find another slave f– the police racist pigs.”
Upon looking for their groceries, they found them smashed up in the driveway.
All because of their yard sign that reads “thank you Blaine P.D.”
“These people are two of the most beautiful, generous, loving souls I’ve ever known,” Gray said. “Tara probably doesn’t know how carefully those $50 in groceries were budgeted for. Or how devastating the recent medical diagnosis has been. Or how scared and vulnerable her vile act of hatred made them feel.”
“Supporting law enforcement doesn’t make you a racist. And it absolutely doesn’t give anyone the right to destroy your things or shatter your sense of safety.”

indeed.
The real underlying issue is that companies hire obviously-mentally-disturbed individuals in customer-facing jobs.
It needs to be driven home that hiring such is a bad idea, no matter how short handed you think you are.
And to accomplish that, it needs to be very visible to senior management that hiring disturbed people is unacceptable.
Well, let me put some fauci juice on dat fake sore delivery puke..

With Instacart you pay full price. People on budgets generally shop for themselves and look for bargains.

This is an elderly couple with medical conditions/constraints. There was snow and ice in their driveway and on the roads/parking lots. They were attempting to reduce their risks.
The solution for that is galoshes, not Instacart. Unless you are not really hard up.
Tara sure looks like guy.

Curmudgeon, comes to mind.
It might have been a good thing for their groceries being destroyed. Who knows what that freak might have done to the food.
Don’t know how old you are, but you sound like someone who has never dealt with infirmities. Just in my own family I have two sisters and a wife who have dealt with health issues that would have made it impossible to “put on galoshes” and waded through deep snow to get to the store. And if they had gotten there they would have been unable to have walked around the store for an hour pushing a cart. COPD, Cancer and severe arthritis can do that to you. Luckily they all had healthy husbands and/or caring children who can still do those things for them. Hope you never grow old or get sick and have to learn how hard it is to deal with what so many take for granted. Your ‘suck it up’ attitude is only a little less repulsive than Tara’s.

Isn’t that a bit like, “Let them eat cake”?
Many elderly people have issues that don’t permit them to shop for themselves. You’re able to, but not everyone is.
There is a special place in HELL for TARA and her ilk..................
TARA needs to meet Louisville Slugger up close and personal....................
You’re not coming across as clever as you imagine yourself to be.
There is currently $3185 in a Gofundme for the elderly couple. Has surpassed the initial goal of $500.
The elderly couple on my corner certainly do. Another neighbor has to take their garbage out to the curb for them on pick up day. Their lives have been hell the last couple of years. Unfortunately Jim died a couple weeks ago leaving his wife alone.
