If anyone has the time and has the inclination to work out the frequency of a positive opening post on a thread turning negative I’d love to know.
ps I’m looking forward to the match at the weekend.

Pumping the pallet truck of emptys in the bread aisle thinking 'This is hard work' then heard a muffled scream from the next aisle.
Ran round the corner and in the next aisle is a poor wee old man, up to his waist in packets of kitchen roll, his trolley full of packets of kitchen roll, looking mightily traumatised.
One of the forks of my pallet truck had caught in the pallet of kitchen rolls, causing a 10 foot tower to cascade upon him.
Now if that had been tins of beans, I'd have bean up on a manslaughter charge

Nobody get any food or drinks from the kiosks at home ever again. Slave labour.

Somebody that rents a chair in a salon might get 30 customers one week and none the next and have to still pay for the chair. Whats the fuss over what a taxi driver might be earning?

Sponsored by gambling and alcohol over the years which for most bring joy however there will be sad stories related to drinking and or gambling. Possibly more so than the wage a f+++++g Beep Beep driver might be paid.
BTW I have no issue with the sponsors we have had as people need to take responsibility for own choices. Coming from a member of GA btw.

Jeezo, take a look at houses that black taxis are parked outside, not a bad living I’d say. Anyway I used the app on Friday night, £11.30 from Lothian road to newcraighall!! I reckon it would be well over a score in a black taxi.

No where on any beep beep vehicle or driver will you find the word taxi.
In this case say 15 minutes to get to the pickup at Waverley, job is half an hour, an if he's very lucky another job 15minutes after dropping off. So £8.90 An hour, minus tax and NI, 20% to beep beep, fuel, wear and tear.
It's a sprint to get to the bottom. Beep beep offer nothing to Edinburgh it is purely software. I'd like to go into the people behind it all but my post would probably be taken down plus I value my knee caps.

It does have ramifications all down the line tho if people care to look further.

It's just another example of the Amazonisation of society. People want goods or services for the cheapest possible price regardless of future consequences or wider societal concerns. It's nothing new, it happened with supermarkets a generation or 2 before.
You can't lay the blame at the feet of individuals. A lot of people are living month to month and if a service offers to get them from A to B for a fiver cheaper then you can't always afford to have morals. I wonder how many people who complain about Uber et al think nothing of the impact of buying fresh fruit from a supermarket in December. How did it get there? What are the working conditions of the person who picked it? What was the environmental impact of it travelling thousands of miles to satisfy customer demand for unseasonal produce? It's not a hugely different situation, cheap taxis are just less ingrained into our psyche at the moment.

Surely as a society we are better than that? I blame politicians and commentators who have turned 'hard working families' into a meaningless buzz word. It often appears to be made in reference to people working ridiculous hours, across multiple jobs in some instances, to make enough money to barely get by. That's then painted as some noble endeavour rather than the disgrace it is. It's a sad legacy for an entire generation of people to leave, they'll happily lecture a 20 something telling them that having a mobile phone is why they are struggling to get by though.
Implementing a proper living wage would have a bottom up effect of giving everyone a bit more money to spend. It will never happen though because there's too many vested interests and people happy to lay the blame at the feet of those who are struggling rather than asking why that is the case.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017.
