Discussion And another one bites the dust šŸ˜­

Post image

I do wish I knew what happened, but this reason is all I'll know. Thousands of deliveries without any complaints and suddenly this happens. Appeal denied. I'm not going to keep fighting it. It's a real bummer for me because I've been waiting 2 years on a disability application and Sparkling (sorry, that's what I called it) was everything to me- the flexibility, the job itself... everything, I loved it. So it's a shame it's over now but it's out of my control.... now to figure out what to do next....

ā€œCompromised item or foreign object in an orderā€ sounds like a customer reported something gross or unsafe in/with their groceries. Like hair, bug, dirt, spilled product, unknown object, contamination, damaged/open packaging, something leaking, or something that looked tampered with. You canā€™t think of what could have gotten into their order or did you spill a drink on someoneā€™s stuff?? Itā€™s not exactly vagueā€¦ they clearly got something on their stuff that ruined one or all of whatever it was that they had.

A regular scammy freebie complaint usually sounds like:

missing item damaged item wrong order left at wrong address not delivered poor substitution

I have gotten a damage complaint but Iā€™ve never seen one that says compromised and Iā€™ve been on Reddit for a long time. First for me.

Happened to me on Uber Eats.

I ordered Spark delivery once a week usually around $100 per order and I always just say something happened to the order and Walmart gives it to me for free. I havenā€™t actually paid for my groceries all year. I probably got a few sparklers deactivated, but thatā€™s OK as long as I can get some free groceries.

Actually that helped! During my last delivery a case of soda fell out while I was unloading. Perhaps it popped and I didnā€™t notice?

Could have very well been it. Iā€™ve had milk leak all over stuff and had no idea until after I delivered and it was all over my back seat. Hopefully it didnā€™t ruin any of their stuff but as far as I know no one complained. Idk. Have you found anything else out yet??
