Instacart should limit availability to seniors and those who cannot shop for themselves right now. Not able bodied people. Sorry not sorry.

We understand you genuinely care for people that have no choice but to rely on our service. We all should. It’s part of the reason while I’m out on the streets with you. I’m proud of the work I do.

But you can’t allow your feelings to ignore the reality of how this business works

The elderly and the handicap are probably a small fraction of who uses our service

AND THEY ARE ALREADY BEING TAKEN CARE OF

Nobody knows and pays attention to the age, race, sex, or face behind the order... The only batches that get ignored are the ones that are not deemed to be worth our time... no tip, too much work, etc.

You can’t just (unnecessarily) shut out the majority of your clientele like that. The business would collapse as a whole and then guess what? Nobody receives our help!

There are more than enough drivers to take care of everybody. You don’t need to worry as much as you do about this issue.
