Uber (personal taxi service) sure does offer interesting things

Last month I posted about Uber bringing offices a gaggle of kittens to enjoy, and this month they're delivering a "wellness pack". For $10, not only do you get the pack of goods, you get a registered nurse who will give up to 10 people a flu shot. $10 for one person alone would be a good deal, but $10 for 10 people to get a shot, PLUS stuff for taking care of yourself, PLUS it's delivered to you? What a deal!

Turns out you're right to be suspicious!

They probably give you a form to sign that's ten pages long in tiny type, knowing no one is going to read it before signing. Agreement to let your information to be used is probably buried in there somewhere.

Fuckers! Haha! Hopefully people are getting a real flu shot, at least, and not glucose water or something.

If they got fake shots, it would be such an uproar when people started getting the flu, Uber would lose more money than they're gaining with the personal information. So probably no worries on that!

Yeah, good point. :)
