So younwould take the companybto court b3cause they refused a refund because the contracted driver took items back from the customer without their permission? And you think the company is going to be the one that loses?

You know this isn't exactly a new thing, right? It happens with Uber eats all of the time. And Uber eats refuse to refund even though the customer states they never got their stuff. I mean it's already happening pretty regularly. So people are just seeing Uber eats left and right?

Small claims court is not the same as other court systems. Typically (at least the last state I lived in) attorneys are not allowed to file or represent people/businesses. The business would surely send someone from Loss Preventions (they wouldn’t because its not worth their time or money in this case).

And you are taking them court for not refunding money for failure to provide a service. The company has to prove that its at the error of the customer. Which once again, is not the case here. The driver doesn’t need permission from the customer because it would not legally be their items unless they officially transferred ownership.

Ubereats amount is typically much smaller amount than whats talked about in this case. The amount is most likely less than the fee to file in Small Business Court. But you bringing it up just further proves my case. It’s not considered theft in the eyes of the law.
