Is he a licensed contractor?  Or just an employee who has a car?

Probably the same company that does background checks for the NBA, or FBI or CIA.  Might miss a few things.

Hopefully he's dumb enough to keep the phone he used with Instacart so they can find it (and presumably him) with it.

Go to the press. Make noise about it, make instacart look bad.

Maybe.  I've had more than a few deliveries where the name on Door Dash, etc was female and the person delivering was some dude.

Security cam from the grocery store should be clear enough even if he was using someone else's name/account.

She ordered the groceries. The groceries got delivered to the next door neighbor. She went to retrieve the groceries while the driver was still there. You have it backwards.

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.

I have no idea. I'd be surprised if it wasn't required by their insurance carrier, but I honestly have no idea. I'm just an idiot on the internets.

I had to have a background and drug screen, and don't go to customers homes, so it would be pretty wild from my perspective NOT to have done a background check.

Wouldn't surprise me I guess for a contract gig. I just kinda figure it might make a lawsuit easier if they knowingly hired a guy who beats on people.

At what point do her friends find this guy outside the public eye and beat the shit out of him.

I worked with a guy whose sister got drunk and rapid at a party. When he found out, him and three friends hunted him down. During the chase the guy ran to a house and pounded on the door to be let in. The people inside watched as they dragged him over to the tracks and beat him nearly to death. I was happy to hear how it ended. We need more of this justice.

Accountability is what drives people and companies to make smart choices and insane human behavior is predictable to some degree.  That's why companies do background checks and drug screenings.  They wouldn't do that if there wasn't some actionable correlation with behavior/performance that is going to be detrimental to the company.

I love reading about the fantasy world you guys live in with regards to lawsuits.  

If you all quit spending all your time trying to get out of jury duty or talking about jury nullification you might see how civil court usually plays out.
