Woman asks if she was wrong to not let delivery person have wrong order back.

 I ordered $160 worth of groceries tonight, and the shopper left the items at my door. When I retrieved the items a few minutes later, I noticed 3/4 of the groceries were not mine. There were some items that overlapped with my order (like eggs and almond milk), but there were some items that I instantly knew were not mine (like plant based burgers and nutritional yeast).  I messaged chat support and the agent told me to &quot;dispose&quot; of the items, and that they would have a shopper send out a new order for me.  I then got a call from the original shopper acknowledging that he dropped off the wrong order, but he was also asking me to return them to him. Here&#39;s the thing... every single item was already sitting on my counter because I had to take a picture for the chat support.  I told the shopper that I had already touched the groceries, but he insisted I place them back into the grocery bags and give them to him so he could deliver them to the correct shopper. I refused under the guise of it being unhygienic. I am a clean person, but I would hate to know that my groceries were already spread out in someone else&#39;s home before I got them.  Here&#39;s where I think I might be the asshole.
