Snapchat A Titty posted:i assume in america you already gotta clock in only after youve put on your uniform, unlocked the front door etc, and clock out as the first thing when shift ends i worked as a lifeguard as a teenager and after a year and a half got a new manager. first thing new manager did was essentially this policy which didn't even make that big of a difference in any of our paychecks we were only doing it because it was more convenient. i did the numbers and found out this was only saving him a few hundred dollars a year and this was for a massive athletic club with thousands of members paying ~$200 a month for membership. i quit soon after and got a sales job selling big screen tvs on commission while they were still insane-priced and lived like a baller my senior year

Nintendo Kid posted:Uber didn't address that, it still happens plenty. Some people even have the Uber dude drive by the pickup spot and just refuse to stop. yeah Uber is crap but cab companies are horrendous in some places and something needs to be done. i was drunk and trying to get back to my friend's place in pittsburgh and called a dispatcher because there weren't any cabs anywhere. i tell the dispatcher i'm at the getgo at such & such intersection and she says 'we don't do curbside pickups' and hangs up on me. fired up uber without hesitating

a really happy medium would be uber opening their system, only allowing actual livery cars & taxis, and acting solely as a middle-man dispatcher that provides a uniform service country-wide. won't happen though and the only company to step in to do that was successful but decided to poison the well like cocks

Shifty Pony posted:most city councils and mayors are pretty practical people and tend toward "OK let's make this work" and hold off on hardcore enforcement while attempting to craft legislation to directly regulate uber and such. the problem they keep running into with uber is that uber is not negotiating in good faith at all and any regulations crafted will be ignored the instant it becomes slightly more profitable to do so. that's when the enforcement wheels start to turn and the city leaders don't want to attack the drivers (who are their constituents) but instead go directly after uber. the problem with that is instead of just writing tickets with instant results the cases have to slowly work their way up through the court system and uber can afford very very good lawyers who can delay things absurd amounts of time while they also attempt to get new laws passed which they will then use to reset the clock before breaking them as well. more succinctly: the gov moves slowly and takes a long time to gain inertia on anything. lord help you if you're in the way once they're moving though

H.P. Hovercraft posted:Along with California, a dozen states allow non-carpoolers in carpool lanes, either through tolls or by letting solo drivers enter the lane with qualifying clean-air vehicles. California’s program is aimed at reducing emissions by incentivizing the purchase of vehicles that pollute the air less. I-66 is easily the worst road I've ever had to deal with on a regular basis
