  1. Screw it, no one cares about Uber.

    Chef Pete update.

    The best jokes work both ways. I wore my mechanics overalls with the Kyle name tag on them today. Why? BECAUSE THIS JOB IS KICKING MY ASS.

    You know what’s great though? These people DON’T CARE. It’s a small business. I never even filled out an application.

    So, long story short…..I can’t seem to get fired from this place and if I have to miss work……because of…..work…I need to make sure my shifts are covered.

    After all the hoopla and uproar (still no sign of the actual Chef Pete”) it came down to this.

    “So what’s your last name Kyle? I have to put something in the books.”

    “Broflovski, Ma’am.”

    Next I figure I’ll get a shave and a haircut and hang out at the Army Reserve Tank depot. If things pan out… I’ma’ be a tank commander.

  2. Kinda confusing. Uber drivers use their own car, gas and pay for any mechanical repairs, They probably use their own auto insurance. The only thing Uber seems to provide is an Ap on the driver’s own phone.
    If you use this reasoning, Are you an employee if you use an ap to order a meal and pay by credit card? What about self checkout, Can’t I get an employee discount?
