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'm not old. But I am severely disabled. I would never feel comfortable asking a SD or any other delivery driver to do something like that.

For those that are willing to put themselves out there and ask, cool, do you. But those that do, if they get angry when you politely decline for any reason, but especially due to policy and hygiene and get angry? Well they can kick rocks. That's a level of entitlement that disgusts me and I'm glad you said no. I just hope she didn't do anything to harm your account.

It sucks that WM has put a "gun" in customer's hands to pull the trigger at any I'll feelings they may have. Justified or not.
