So one of my employees mistakenly submitted about $100 in the last week of Uber Eats receipts (and obviously realized she was using the wrong card - corporate vs. personal)... but do most Millennials use Uber Eats this much!? Is it a sign of laziness, no car, or just habit? Just found it interesting as I've never used the service, although I use Uber almost weekly.
Yeah, millennials spend all of their bitcoin money on Uber and Uber Eats
What's an uber?
Probably was not a mistake, she is just seeing how much you will pay for personal items. If you pay she will continue. Using uber eats just gives more options for food to be delivered while little more cost. And it is a huge time saver if you eat out everyday. Extra 20 to 30 minutes for work to get done or personal time depending on the worker.
I'm curious; what happened from you/the company? What were the consequences?
I'm a gov't employee, and when I mistakenly used my [US state-issued] work credit card at the pump for my vehicle (it looks similar to one of my personal credit cards), I was suspended for using it for a month, had to fill out several forms to reinforce the consequences of the gaffe, and was hectored to near-death in an email from my business-office head. I already felt horror enough at my mistake. First and only misuse; certainly unintentional.
Lesson learned and I know things need to be documented, but, man, I thought they really rubbed my nose in it. (Got sent a list of tips to avoid such mistakes, and was informed of employee fraud, ad nauseum)

Using millennials is dead give away.

Your experience mirrors that of my friend (federal employee) who made the same mistake. In his case I believe he was eventually able to in essence make a payment back to the government that was equal to his credit card charge. Of course, he didn't escape the counseling about 'proper use of work credit cards'

Exactly. If you’re going to get take-out/delivery, Uber Eats will generally have everywhere in your city under one site, and bring it to your door.
Seems stupid NOT to use it.

Thanks for pointing it out; I should have make it explicit I repaid and certainly wasn't trying to slip one by "The Man."

I assumed as much. I understand the need for oversight but it's unfortunate that even when you immediately acknowledge the mistake (before the monthly card statement is even sent to the government!) that you get scrutinized as a potential criminal.

Oldie here (aka a non-Millennial.)
My boyfriend and I do far far more than that a week. Granted, we live in Manhattan so a basic, standard meal for 2 costs around $40. But it works for us.
The question is why are you hiring people that dont have a car?

Sometimes people in large cities do not own cars. I had friends in Chicago who got rid of their's. Know a few folks in NYC who do not own one. Between insurance and paying for parking or just finding a place to park, a car can be very expensive.
What does having a car have to do with ordering delivery?
