I've always had my groceries delivered, and never had problems until a year and a half ago, when I moved to a flat on the second floor. I get a delivery every 10 days or so, and it varies who from. Since I moved here I've always had problems with the drivers, asking me to go and get the shopping, to help them with it, "why is there no lift", "I don't know my way around the building", "I'm not able to carry up stairs", "the corridor doors open the wrong way"
First off, I state it very clearly in the delivery instructions that there is no lift. I also give directions to my door, not that it is difficult.
When I explain to them that I have a toddler up here so no I can't go and get it myself, I've greeted with huffs and puffs and dirty looks and snide comments. More often than not I'm in too much pain to lug shopping up the stairs. Not that I should need to justify my decision to use online shopping.
AIBU to be in the frame of mind that it's their job, not mine. I wouldn't expect them to do my job, why should I do theirs? I appreciate some may have the job because they have nothing else, but if they have difficulties bringing stuff up stairs, They shouldn't be doing it.
I'm starting to feel guilty for having shopping delivered. I feel like complaining, but to start with, I'm not sure if I'm overreacting, secondly, it's three different shops, and thirdly, a lot of the time my groceries are battered anyway and I'm worried complaining will make everything turn up broken
