Affordable, portable wheelchair jack for changing Permobil F5 tires "in the field"

My forever fiance (if we officiate our marriage she will lose Medicaid) is going to get air tires put on her chair to help with the sidewalk bumps. She does a LOT of outside stuff, she is incredibly independent.

Only thing is I need a jack to change the tire. I'm buying spare tires and tubes and I'm getting trained in how to change it (I've changed car tires before, and I'm confident I can learn this).

I don't need a fancy jack. I heard Permobil sells their own custom one for 400 or so. I need one I can take in a car to wherever she is at and change the tire there.

I know about air tires and how its way more maintenance (weekly air refills) and you need to be immediately ready to go wherever said tire is and fix it. I can do that. I've even plugged tires myself when I worked at a tire shop (it's stupid easy, probably why they had a teenager doing it).

I think I can do it guys, just want to jump the gun on the "don't do it" comments I'm expecting.

How to Pair Permobil F5 with MyConnect App

When I go to Bluetooth settings all I have is the option to turn Bluetooth on and pairing on. My chair was previously connected. Now I can't see or connect it.

Do I need to reset it after I turn these on? Anyone else connect their chairs to their phones for monitoring? I mainly use it to see the true battery percentage so I don't get stranded

Restaurants Workers of MO: Tip Share with Kitchen - legal or?

My place just started making us give a portion of our tips to the kitchen (they make 17 an hr we make 7). I don't think this is legal. Can anyone tell me?

.edit: I should elaborate. So my place just started doing it. The cooks make 17/hr we make 7 plus tips. We tip out 4% of net sales to the host bus and food runner (most people tip 20%). 5% on weekends. So basically a quarter of our tips go to the FOH. Now it 5 and 6%, because 1% always goes to the kitchen.
