It will take 15 min to get a car (8 min according to the app) and it will be a dirty Toyota Corolla

Meanwhile there is no one in the cab line and in a crossover with much more space for $50

Don't assume all of your coworkers are making about the same. Many years ago, I was working as a tax staff making $60,000 at a small CPA office in NYC. There was another tax staff that I shared an office with that was only making $40,000. How I knew? He accidentally dropped his paystub on his way out one Friday and was shocked to see how much less she was making. We were both staff level. I had more experience but still shameful that 2 staff levels had such a huge wage gap. I never told her.
