Was I rude or the Morrison's delivery driver?

I know this is really small, and I’m happy to be told IABU but just genuinely wondering if I could have handled it different. So would really appreciate your opinions on this.

today I had my shopping delivered, I live on the first floor. She came up with the bags and I directed her to my kitchen, my kitchen is literally next to the front door, only a few steps away. As she walked towards my kitchen she huffed, rolled her eyes and said “alright” I thought maybe she was stressed or tired, so I offered to go down and help her with the bags, she refused. She came up a few times and didn’t speak to me and avoided eye contact.

When she came up the second or third time, I asked her if that was it and she said “yeah” on her way out. Didn’t even hand me the receipt or couldn’t be bothered to let me know they’re weren’t any more bags.

Just to correct, when delivery drivers come up with the trays I just take the bags myself while they go get the rest. When they just come up with the bags I just tell them to put them in the kitchen since it’s so close to the front door, or sometimes they will ask me where I want them.

So was I rude for directing her to the kitchen or was she just plain rude?

I've been grocery shopping online for years with different stores and I had no idea that the delivery drivers are expected to bring stuff in!

I have a friend who is a shopping delivery driver, the schedules are really tight and 5 mins extra at one house can throw the next delivery into a late window. Having said that, they know it is their job to deliver wherever the customer wants and at that particular supermarket (Tesco) are trained to help by unpacking for the elderly/diabled and even do any little jobs they can't manage like offer to put the bins out!
On another note, apparently the number of customers who expect the drivers to find their homes with no door number visible is incredible!

How funny people are. I might try it on my next shift and see what happens...😉

I live in a first floor flat and have had deliveries from Tesco , Sainsburys and Morrisons - they have all delivered the food to my kitchen when I've asked them to. I feel sorry for them carrying it up but one of the main reasons I occasionally get an online delivery is to save me the ball ache of carrying it all up the stairs. They've all been completely lovely about it, wouldn't be impressed with eye rolling but probably wouldn't do anything about it.

@thebeesknees123 are you a shopping delivery driver?

No. I do work in a supermarket, though. Our drivers are mostly all lovely - really funny and chatty. I am shocked, actually, that people think this is ok!
