Woman Annoyed At Instacart Driver Replacing Items Shows up at the Store to Confront Him

Is it ethical to use food delivery services for your groceries? This question has been bobbing around Twitter since the beginning of the pandemic when the number of people paying others to get their groceries increased immensely. This new reality where we weren't supposed to go outside brought up some quagmires that are worth contemplating. Is hiring somebody to pick up groceries more ethically dubious than hiring somebody to pick up your takeout? Who benefits the most from food delivery and is the most harmed? Why did my Instacart shopper replace my oat milk with regular milk instead of almond milk?

One of the most common hot takes about food delivery services is that men are bad at it. Twitter users often complain about men making wild substitutions for items when shopping for them. However, not everyone is so amused by these digs at underpaid workers. This tension sparked some interesting Twitter discourse this week: if you missed it, the highlights are below.
