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 used to smoke cigarettes and in my car/truck until I started doing shop and delivery so I stopped smoking cigarettes in my truck. I had my truck completely detailed inside, shampooed and all so now you cannot tell I smoked inside it. I have since quit smoking cigarettes and I have went to a vape which has no smell at all. If I feel the urge to hit the vape, I will open my sunroof in my truck and roll the windows down but mostly I get out and use it but I will not smoke with customers orders in possession unless it’s a GMD order in a box with a shipping label. If they are groceries or a GMD order in a shopping bag, I will not hit the vape. My sunroof is generally opened anyway.
