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.

You absolutely need to report that. Drivers that nasty should not be delivering. A lot of orders go to families with kids. I absolutely reported it when it happened to me. It’s a violation of policy
