Yes. This is posh crap though.

Just that the players get pretty heavily catered to. I’ve seen it firsthand as a former bartender in Athens.

Yeah no “paycheck”. There are definitely other benefits though. Just a bartender. I have little insight beyond that.

The players use Uber on a near daily basis. They might not be paid, but they definitely seem to have the funds to use Uber instead of the buses.

It doesn't matter what I think or would do. I'm just telling you that as a matter of fact, they use Ubers even when free rides are offered or available.
