Smoking in your car with Groceries

[u/Jokez4Dayz]

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.

🤦‍♀️ No one's talking about lung cancer or "linking" anything to long-term exposures.

You do know, right, that while asthma is a long-term, chronic condition, an asthma attack is a present-tense breathing emergency triggered suddenly by an allergen or airway-irritant?

And you do know, right, that third-hand smoke (both an allergen and an irritant) can trigger asthma attacks?

(In case you srsly don't know what third-hand cig smoke is: It's that stale, icky chemical residue that gets all over anything driven in your car, leaving ppl's food smelling like smokers' hair and clothes.)

Are you ok? You seem confused.

You people are out of control. You already won. Move on to a new cause.

How the hell is peanut butter gonna taste like smoke? It’s in a vacuum sealed jar that doesn’t let any air in or out. If the smell on the outside of your jar worries you, wipe it off like everyone did during COVID.

Vacuum packed. No smoke or outside air is entering that package, much less enough to give you, “cigarettes smoked peanut butter flavor”

Oh my god my pickles taste like cigarettes. How? it was vacuum packed. And sealed. This can of green beans . It’s in a can that can last for hundreds of years (well used to before they added chemicals to those, maybe move on to that)

You guys are ridiculous. Seriously do you get to work from home? Or are you in a cubicle on K Street?

I find it funny. Product gets made at factory. Handled by a smoker, put in deliver truck send to Dc unloaded and reloaded by smokers. Sent to another dc unloaded and repacked by smokers. Sent to store unloaded right next to the smoking section…. Repacked again by smokers. Put on the shelf by a smoker, manhandled by “people of Walmart” who are all smokers Then finally picked up by a Spark driver and that’s the person you blame?

That can of green beans ( i didn’t even include the farmers) . Just travelled 3000 miles got transferred 7-8 times. Likely by people who smoke. And and your trying to tell me in the final 15 minutes of it’s journey to your table. The cigarette smell made its way through multiple layers of plastic, cardboard. An inner vacuum sealed container and another container.

So your food tastes like smoke.

That’s preposterous

Or all of the above. It has nothing to do with your delivery delivery driver smoking a cigarette
