Shoppers who work for sites like Instacart and DoorDash are dealing with so many challenges that you probably never thought about.
There are plenty of jokes and videos online criticizing the extremely misguided purchases made by Instacart and DoorDash shoppers on their grocery runs — from blueberries swapped out for pineapples, or a 10-pound bag of limes when you asked for a single lime.
