The CEO didn’t provide any additional details, beyond they would be working on creative efforts to turn things around. In reporting on this story, Regina Cho covered what people…

I am waiting, hoping for the day that I randomly win a sweepstakes, so I can finally afford a stay at Aman New York, or really any of their properties. Curiosity is my vice, and it has me desperately wanting to know if a stay at this luxury hotel is worth it. On a cheap…

So, did you notice this one thing in your user agreement?
We might as well continue with the complaints. As I logged into my Lyft app for the first time in a while, I was prompted to agree to the new terms. I chose to read through instead of mindlessly clicking to quickly book my ride. “Arbitration.” As a condition to use the service, I had…
