I’m thinking of deleting the food delivery apps….

First, I wanted to thank this community for changing my mindset so much that even my gut reactions have changed. I’m way more protective of myself with male micro aggressions. Some dude in a gruesome Halloween mask intentionally got in my face in the street to scare me and (after I screamed) I put my finger and said “NO, NO!” And walked away. It’s such a small thing but- like- also huge for me?

Back to the apps-

I use them for groceries, to get flowers to my mom during mother’s day, and today I tried the beer delivery service…

I do no-contact delivery on purpose, but twice I’ve had to meet the person face-to-face. Once, because they were late and couldn’t figure out the doorman situation. He offered to help me take the bags upstairs 🚩 🚩

Tonight I ordered beer (to celebrate with a girlfriend) and the dude had to check my id. So-fine, I went downstairs. The app just said I had to show my face. But this old man asked me to show him specifically the back of my id for him to take a picture. 🚩 🚩 🚩🚩

I’m no expert in identity theft, and maybe I’m being paranoid- but there was something about the way he laughed nervously after I immediately said “The app didn’t say I had to do that” … that bothered me.

Now, I will never order at least alcoholic beverages from these apps. And I’m thinking of just deleting the apps altogether. They’re giving my address and phone number to a complete stranger. And now my license? It’s uncomfortable. At least at a liquor store I know where they live.

Anyone else have concerns about these apps?
