How do you mean Uber covers its own discounts ?

Had to resort to my 40yo chain wrench to change the filter on the younger not so young lad's Yaris over the weekend. I do have the cup yoke - which generally does the job on the Yaris and the older not so young lad's Corolla - but it wouldn't shift it... for some reason I didn't bother bringing the engine up to operating temp before draining the oil. Done the Corrolla too, I ran that up to temp though and the cup worked grand. FFS they're not even particularly tight!

To be fair Uber covers it's own discounts... for now. Obviously it's not going to pay drivers substantially more than it charges riders forever. Free Now increased freight to 25% to cover the discounts it must offer to compete with Uber. Give it a year or ten and freight will be 41.3% across all the commercial apps.

Might also be leaving the tools for a few days in case the site is under the protection of some 'bad guys'?  Don't want to step on the wrong toes over a few power tools?

Or might even be brazen enough and try to sell/ransom them back through the site manager?

Plenty of discounting scum ready to do the work.
It’s a race to the bottom.

Did you ever see a Bin lorry stopped by Security or Checked entering or leaving a site ?

Steal a car and break it without attracting too much notice.  Come back in the daytime in a van when the coast is clear and it won't look so suspicious?

..... I'd be pissed if I had to pay to rank at that airport ......

No payment charges fer ranking at Cork airport.

To add, FN already has a virtual rank at Cork airport.
