Kourtney Stevenson was allegedly caught on camera spraying meal with chemical that later sickened customers
A driver for the popular food delivery platform DoorDash has been arrested after allegations that she showered an order with pepper spray in plain view of a doorbell camera, sickening a customer and his wife, according to authorities in Indiana.
Kourtney Stevenson faces counts of felony battery and consumer product tampering, the Vanderburgh county sheriff’s office said in a statement on Friday, addressing a case that is bound to be of significant interest to DoorDash’s 42 million or so users.
Stevenson, 29, allegedly told investigators that she used the pepper spray in question to try to kill a spider that had frightened her, but they did not believe her, saying it was too cold at the time of the delivery for that kind of creature to be out.
My first question: Has Stevenson made deliveries to this address before, and what was that experience like? Is this an ongoing relationship with these customers? Or is this just a random act of criminality, in front of a camera? I guess I have a lot of questions.
Edit: Don’t they like chili / spicy in Indiana?
Two grains of black pepper in a large casserole counts as spicy in Indiana. They’re at homeopathic spice levels.
Does it matter? Under what circumstances would these actions be justified?
If the food stood up and attacked her. But it doesn’t appear to have been the case.
Not the person you’re responding to, but I had the same questions. They didn’t come to mind as looking for a justification, only that it could possibly give some additional context. If she delivered there before and they had gotten into a verbal altercation for example, it would shed even more doubt on any excuse she might make. I’m not saying there’s no way she did that for no reason or for her cited reason, but it’s possible that a motive for doing that might be clear if we had that additional information.
you ever work customer service?
not messing with people’s food but i can think of multiple shit customers deserving a good pepper spraying
I’ve worked customer service and comments like yours always come from stupid people.
I’ve see multiple coworkers go home in tears over an interaction with a customer
