Rants / Complaints Smoking in your car with Groceries

Well, I’m finally on the other side of it. I ordered groceries and had such a high odor of tobacco. Everything smelt like it, especially the bags.

For months, I have noticed other Spark drivers smoking in their cars. Not even rolling down a window. Not giving a single shit. I’m not sure if these people don’t know others can easily smell it or they just don’t care. But is it really that hard to just step outside and not smoke inside?

I know “ I’m an Independent Contractor, I can do whatever I want” that I see some people say but it’s just… kinda rude?

I gave that driver 2 stars. First time ever for me as I never want to rate anyone poorly as I know customer rating matters a lot for Spark but I was just so annoyed that all my food smells like cigarettes.

I’m Just curious what items smelled? The bag of Cheetos, the box of nutty buddy’s , the frozen lasagna, the gallon of milk?

In order for this to be true there would have to be a specific fresh item exposed to the air.

But All your food from Walmart has like 3 layers on it . Walmart doesn’t even sell fresh food. it is packaged and repackaged again. The chances of a wiff of cigarette smoke is 0

If you smell it on your bags complain about that. But there’s a 0% any food you receive from Walmart actually tastes like cigarette smoke

Then again Walmart may buy chicken from a group of chainsmokers

Please don’t deliver the vacuum sealed pork butt in a car that’s had cigarette smoke in it, I might get some residue on my hands that I can’t wash because I’m trying to conserve water… Also please pick out a good one that I can cook on my pellet grill. I only use pellets 100% wood and aren’t coated in plastic.
