This seems like a Wal-Mart problem, I don't know who any of the people who deliver goods to me are, I never have done, it's not normal for me to expect anything from the people who deliver things to me aside from they have the capability to deliver things to me.

i remember a few years ago i got blacklisted from applying to doordash because it detected i had a speeding ticket. can't blame anyone for trying to get around petty bullshit like that
