Waitrose to bring back free coffee without the need to buy anything

The rise of digitalisation has seen far too much power transferred to corporations.

Take Uber for instance, they are an organisation of people sitting in front computers who make money by creaming margins out of taxi drivers.

and this is just an example: booking.com, ticketmaster, eBay, Amazon, are all doing the same.
This is better. You're talking like a normal person. We agree on this. Please keep in this vein so we can have normal interesting conversations.

'Creaming'? It’s called commission. How else would you be able to make contact with Ahmed driving his Prius when you wanted to go on a tomato hunt? It’s how some business' work, dummy. Do you think Uber should be a charity then and run the system for nothing then?

poor Mottie doesnt understand that wealth inequality is the major factor in the problems in the West
poor Mottie does no research before posting.............a few seconds of googling show how Ubers methods are exploiting workers and lobbying govts to get away with unfair working practices

I accept that Uber is a good way for people to earn a flexible income, but Uber works to exploit its workers to cream off as much profit as it can

Uber’s Business Model: Screwing Its Workers​




Uber has been heavily criticized for aggressively lobbying, following unfair labor practices, jeopardizing the security of passengers and drivers, and playing with local laws by requiring no permits. There were too many scandals and issues to cover them all.

In the U.S., Uber used consumer enthusiasm for its service to bring pressure on local politicians to develop rules that allow it to operate. However, such an approach is difficult in civil law countries like China, France, Germany, Spain, and much of continental Europe.

This resulted in plenty of bans, penalties, and losses on various markets.

Uber has been banned from operating in parts of France, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, and Belgium. It has been accused of willfully ignoring and breaking the law, placing both drivers and riders in peril. In the Netherlands, the company had to pay around 2.3 million euros to settle a case, after being accused of operating an illegal taxi service from 2014 to 2015.

 
Scan while shopping, then pay and go. More often than not there's queues at the self serve checkouts, that tells you all you need to know.
 
As Murdoch has shown, the super rich can evade justice.

I thought you would be all for Uber. I never use them, but most drivers seem to have just stepped off the boat with the ink barely dry on their driving licences. Take away Uber and you will probably stop millions of migrants moonlighting in the black economy. :idea:
