So ... how 'bout that capitalism?

Uber driver and TikTok content creator @ScottyRides posted a video highlighting his "hack" for free parking at sporting events. The clip may have been meant in jest, but it got some people seriously fired up.

Now the internet can't decide if he is "a liar and a thief" or if he's just some dude trying to survive capitalism with a sense of humor.

Maybe both? But aren't we all?

The philosophical feud started after Scotty posted this TikTok clip:


In it, we see him pull up to a gate attendant who tells him the parking fee is $20.

In response, the driver tells the attendant that he is just dropping off the people in the back seat. The attendant allows Scotty through by telling him to drive forward and to the right.

As he passes through the gate, he comments to the people in the back seat that that's the best way to not have to pay for event parking.

Lots of commenters pointed out that venues have started to adopt designated drop off areas for ride share services like Lyft, Uber, etc. so this wouldn't work everywhere.

But there are quite a few spots - like the Honda Center in Anaheim California, where this was filmed - that don't have that sort of system in place yet.

Scotty did clarify that the clip was posted in jest.

Most people understood the joke and played along.

But some took serious offense to the clip, even going so far as to remind Scotty about Gods judgment.

Which of the two camps are you in? Did you see the humor or do you think Scotty is just taking advantage and should be repeimanded, not praised?

HOA Sparks Debate After Sending Letter Telling People Not To Hand Out Full-Size Candy Bars On Halloween

Within our communities, it's important to make everyone feel welcome and included, and sometimes that means making changes so that everyone can afford to be included. But sometimes changes are made simply because someone with the power to change it doesn't want to do something.

The question is whether changes are being made for inclusivity or convenience.

Fired TikToker Shares Bonkers Behind-The-Scene Stories About What It Was Like Working At Walmart

Whether or not we've ever worked there, we've all heard horror stories and seen internet memes about "people at Walmart" and the weird things that often happen within the oversized chain convenience store.

TikToker Kae, or @lolxdlolxdlolxd23455 on the platform, worked at Walmart for more than six months and ultimately was fired because he'd accidentally logged his PTO time incorrectly and also requested multiple days off,—but he'd intended to quit anyway given his unpleasant time working there.
