Not really lol, but I'm not sure where to put this. CNN was broadcasting live next to the courthouse, and as they were on air, a man lit himself on fire like 50 feet away. It took a couple minutes for the fire to get put out, so we all got to witness two reporters reporting the sights and smells they were experiencing in real time.
drive through scanning app. not pre orderOne that seems to be going in the opposite direction of the norm: Starbucks.
They incentivize you to use their app via free crap every so often, birthday drinks, etc. The app used to ask you, after every purchase, how much you would like to tip. They took that function away a year or so ago. So now, you pay with the app, but if you don't have cash(lol, what's that) their employees get no tip. Kinda wild.
I assume they found some legal reason to stop doing this and just took the option away before they got sued, but who knows. Given the tip environment everywhere else, this one is a head scratcher.
when you are checking out on the starbucks app it has the total at the bottom and then a little button that says "wanna leave a tip?" but you do not have to engage with that button in order to complete your order.
When you are scanning the bar code in the drive through, that isn't there. It used to be a pop up after they scanned your app, though.
am i to understand you are placing your order when you arrive instead of ordering ahead of time so its ready when you get there?

I would think Uber might bear some legal culpability on this front if their medium was used as a mechanism for fraud that got someone killed.
You might think that ...
A couple years ago Uber came out and said they would no longer be allowing their drivers to drop off and pick up kids for school if parents weren't in the car. I always assumed this was for similar reasons. Makes me think that Uber this they may share culpability as well.
Not to go all lawyer here but how does a ride share app have any culpability for the old man's killing/embarrassed for getting grifted boner?

This is cap, by the way, we aren't recruiting this guy
Is that a recent change? As of yesterday, I found 3 or 4 sources saying we were but they were all a week or so old at that time.
Those sources were weird college basketball aggregator twitter accounts, right? He's not been on campus and he's not going to be

81 yr old dude gets phone scammed and decides to shoot the Uber driver the scammer sent to collect the money
I'm not a regular Uber user, how did this scammer manage to get an Uber driver to go to a residence to "pickup a package"?
apparently the passenger can be a parcel and the drop off destination can be the post office or ups store etc. Not sure if that's a common use for uber but man, if i was an uber driver i would absolutely decline what appears to be running someone's errands.
I view being a private postman as more dignified than chauffer.
