I primarily worked the job at night and on weekends. However, I made the incredibly poor decision to deliver during the workday at times. In doing so, I realized I betrayed my boss, my colleagues and most importantly the citizens of Bucks County.

— Gregg Shore, who was recently demoted to deputy district attorney from first assistant district attorney in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, commenting on his decision to do some DoorDash deliveries while he was on duty as a prosecutor. In announcing the demotion, District Attorney Matt Weintraub said, “What he has done is indefensible, thoughtless, selfish, and so stupid. It’s senseless.” Shore earned a six-figure salary in 2019.
