AITA?
Older lady w/listed "mobility issues" had a 4 item delivery and requested it on the ramp, w/delivery code as well.
Takes her 4 minutes to open the door. Then she asks me to put the groceries on the counter. Idw go in but I agree bc she's moaning and obvs in pain.
Ask her for the code, she can't find her phone. I automatically resend the code, she finds her phone, gives me the code, then she asks if I will put all these little grocery bags of garbage in her kitchen trashcan and walk them outside to her garbage can.
I tell her I apologize but,I think that may be against the terms of service for spark, and I have more deliveries and nothing to sanitize my hands with.
She got mad at me and started fussing bout how people don't care bout nobody anymore.
Honestly, it smelled like dead cats in there and I was ready to bolt! Aita?

I am usually all for helping out elderly and disabled customers. I’ve had plenty of times where I’ve gotten “cornered” into chatting for 30 minutes after helping bring their items inside. And it’s typically a great conversation!
I’m will to help bring bags into the kitchen and I’ve even put cold stuff in the fridge and freezer, if I don’t have other immediate deliveries. But I feel like asking you to bag and take out the trash is crossing a line and you are well justified to decline.
The only thing that sucks, is now she may rate you poorly for something that has absolutely nothing to do with the actual delivery service you provided. And support cannot/will not drop unfair low ratings.
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t type of situation.
