How It's Made - McDonald's Fries
Not surprised they're actual cut potatoes at all. Now if you told me Burger King or Jack in the Box's fries were real I'd slap you across the face and call you a liar. Granted it's been a long time since I've had either so they could have conceivably changed them. IMO McDonald's fries are fresh and made right they're some of the best, when they're not they're some of the worst.
How It's Made - McDonald's Fries
Why would they bother cutting and pulverising the potatoes into mush to form them into fries when they can just cut the potatoes into fries directly? What purpose would first making them into mashed potato serve, apart from making the process less efficient? And if they did mash them and form them, why are McDonald's fries different lengths?
I've always wondered this, and imagined a pit of mash that was just formed into fry-shapes.
Am I overly cynical that I still don't believe this? Here's video footage of the process, but my distrusting, questioning mind still adds "supposedly" to its assessment of everything I see here.
How It's Made - McDonald's Fries
I think I believe this, they still add needless chemicals and even admitted it. Pre-fried, frozen & fried again... They may be telling the truth, but not in a way that implies that this process is most definitely very unhealthy - and I'm not being snobby, if I'm hungry while traveling and all there is - is McDonalds I'll eat it and not even grumble about it, though I wish all McDonalds were replaced by In & Out's
Woman Refuses to Leave Uber Car
Sure, the car might not be flash and maybe you have to wait longer to get a ride and you can't book one in advance (at least, not in my experience), but at the very least you can expect to get to where you paid to be taken to.
They're still operating as a taxi and should be subject to the same regulations. McDonalds might not be fine dining, but I still expect the food to be edible and not poison me.
I think we agree on most of this, tbh
1)Yes, but it's the recourse when your expectations aren't met that I'm discussing. Also, the base level of service is lower for Uber than a licensed taxi, no?
2)Yes, that's exactly what I mean...they aren't regulated taxis, they are basically operating illegally everywhere, but abused loopholes and used misrepresentation to gain a foothold, then grew too fast to control...or just were ignored until they took enough work from licensed taxi drivers, and now they're being considered 'too big to fail' and still allowed to operate in most places (not all). I would never use them for exactly that reason...as essentially black market taxis, I would expect little insurance against improper service or damage. It's not JUST the drivers, they also treat the rule of law with contempt. Why would one not expect them to treat customers with the same distain and carelessness?
Woman Refuses to Leave Uber Car
I think you missed Drachen Jaeger's point - Uber drivers shouldn't be treated as taxi drivers; Uber should be legislated as though they were providing a taxi service. Until that's the case, you can either lower your expectations, or refuse on principle to use Uber.
As for your other rebuttal, Newt already covered it. You don't get to mix up "staying in the car as protest" with "staying in the car because you don't know where you are". The first scenario is unacceptable and shitty; the second could be excused except in this case it obviously isn't. She's at the right hospital, and the Emergency Admission is just a walk away from the car - and she's clearly not in a hurry. She's not in an 'unfamiliar place' and you know it - the driver references the hospital sign, and she readily accepts the hospital personnel saying that it's just a short walk away. That's the specific case we're dealing with - I wouldn't judge her half as harshly if she really was in an unfamiliar place... but why are you bringing it up, when it's not the case here?
She didn't stay in his car because she was legitimately confused about where she was, she stayed in his car to hold him hostage while she lodged her complaint about the service she received. That's not ok, regardless of whether it's Uber, McDonald's, or some super-friendly mom and pop store. You disengage (which he didn't have the luxury of doing) and you figure out how to get justice later.
He's a taxi driver (Uber = taxi and @Drachen_Jager is right, they should be held to the same standards).
...
This is probably worthy of a separate discussion, but since we're here...
I 100% disagree with this. Uber is a taxi service, just a really poorly run one.
