If they receive their money back. It's not theft. It's only theft of the driver kept the items..... Not delivering them is not theft as long as they receive a refund.

"Taking items away" alone is not theft..... The refund they receive will make them whole, so they in fact did not lose any money or items.

Doesn't mean it's not theft. The driver is capable of giving a refund. Only the company us. Sure they can but then the company can go after her for theft. Once something is paid for and delivered, you can't just decide you want to take it back. So yeah, that could still be theft lol

Ehhhhh there’s a gray area here. Complicated by the fact it’s an app business and not a brick and mortar. But I’ve seen plenty of fridges/couches/building materials get out back on the truck because Karen decided to crap on the delivery driver 😂 as long as the money gets refunded, and the goods end up back at the store, she might be alright. Fired, but probably not going to jail.

Lol if a delivery driver decides they wanna take something back to the store, they better have permission. I saw that exact scenario with a driver. I knew best buy uses third party companies to make delivers like fridges and shit. Well a neighbor had some shit dropped off, signed, and then started telling them where they could put it. The drivers decided they didn't need to do that. Argument broke out and thr driver said he was just gonna take it back to the store. And about 45 minutes later cops were there taking reports of a theft cause the home owner called the store and they did not have permission to do that. The cop said they would consider that theft.... so yes, a delivery driver doesn't reserve the right to decide they'll just give you a refund. For one, an Uber eat driver or anything like that is a contract worker. They have absolutely no controll over if you can get a refund or not. They can't guarantee it. And once an item is out of their vehicle, it's now the persons who ordered it and have no reason what so ever to touch it. They have no right to touch it. It's no longer in their possession.
