Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By JVD: If someone can't handle being told they are a piece of shit, while being a piece of shit, without getting all violent they deserve an 8000mg dose of lead to the head. So does anyone that supports that violent aggressor. And anyone that supports those people. The lesson should be carry. Am I nerdy for looking up milligrams to grains comparisons? Approximately 124 grains? I like your thinking. |

Ok, some update here, apparently the guy was the boyfriend of the actual instacart driver, he was using her profile and car to make the deliveries and get paid. He has apparently fled to new haven according to his GF who spilled the beans to the cops.

If the guy ends up having a violent criminal record once identified, I imagine it might be relevant. IANAL If they did. They're probably on the list of employers that hires felons anyways. Sounds like it's not fully known here. But a number of businesses are willing to hire felons as long as they are honest about their past. Part of the process of getting people rehabilitated I suppose. Ironically enough though. The list of what employers would was kept somewhat secret. Wouldn't want it to get out that you're willing to put criminals on the payroll. You're probably right. I think part of the program when I heard of years ago. Was that they were still being selective in a way. So violent criminals or theft would likely to still be a no go. But drug convictions, prostitution, and similar were going to be overlooked. These days i'm sure it's just anything goes as long as you tell us first. |

I would wager that having someone else drive under your account falls well outside of the agreement between the original driver and the company, likely in direct violation of terms. I know it’s unpopular here, but I don’t see instacart shelling out millions. There is no privity between the asshole and instacart. Sorry, OP, I hope she recovers well and this guy gets caught. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Tiszta: Just wait until you guys find out who works for your roofing company, moving company, landscaping crew, painters, etc. There is a severe labor shortage in this FJB economy. Companies are desperate to hire any warm body. I did a job at the governors mansion in Richmond several years ago where everybody on site was required to pass a background check. The construction/landscape company evidently struggled with this requirement and wound up emptying the office of all their 20-something engineers and project managers to come get their hands dirty, run equipment, etc. It was hilarious. The only one who knew what he was doing was the supervisor and he pretty much spent the entire time shaking his head in amazement at the incredible amount of carnage occurring around him. You know how watching a skilled mini ex operator do work is like watching a surgeon? This was the opposite of that.

He delivers to the wrong house and your coworker goes and attempts to take the groceries and has a verbal exchange with the boyfriend 4. Boyfriend then gives a beating and leaves. 5.

Did Instacart have knowledge that there was a proxy for the GF and if so, how long? The longer the greater the liability. If this was a first, it's negligible unless you have a real creative personal injury attorney who can prove that it's a "practice" of Instacart to tolerate substitute drivers for the registered driver. |

IC is negligent in having zero checks and balances in who delivers after initial app registration Originally Posted By Kharn:I'm surprised Doordash, Instacart, Uber, etc, haven't gone to requiring face ID and fingerprint to open the app and re-verify identity for every run.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 80085: I'd dump that video on social media and let it run. "Woman in hospital after Instacart delivery" "Woman beaten within an inch of her life after Instacart order goes wrong" "Woman badly beaten after Instacart order" etc Yeah, this is the kind of national news that every local news station in the country loves to tease before they go to their first commercial break. |

Waterbury is, or was, a shithole when I left the area 4 years ago. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Scoobysmak: Okay I am just verifying I have the facts straight: 1. Female co-worker orders groceries on Instacart. 2. Should be a female Instacart driver but her boyfriend does the job (didn't even know this was a thing, are you able to select a particular driver or is it random?) 3. He delivers to the wrong house and your coworker goes and attempts to take the groceries and has a verbal exchange with the boyfriend 4. Boyfriend then gives a beating and leaves. 5. Co-worker now in hospital and out of work at least for the day. Not sure legally what will happen but boyfriend needs a hickory bath, more than just a shampoo. I guess did the boyfriend take the instacart driver's car when he left the area what car did he take? (just wondering, maybe he doesn't have a car )This is the general gist of it. |
