When you go to the costco food court, almost everyone uses the self-serve kiosk to order and pay, right?
Well every now and then you get some asshole that insists on using the register so they can pay cash. In order for that to happen, someone who's job is normally to get all the food, instead has to remove gloves, go to the register, fulfill dipshit's order, handle cash, wash hands, and then put gloves on. Then they can go back to work fulfilling orders of the dozen people waiting. A dozen people who used the kiosk to make things go faster but waited extra time because grandpa insists on not using the kiosk.
well, cash is legal tender. I'm sure you'll get over it and the few minutes of your life you spent waiting on someone else to make a transaction.
Shit that annoys me:
People that creep forward at stoplights, blocking crosswalks, thinking that in doing so, the light will turn faster.
If you can rent an ozone generator, that's how detailers do cars that have been smoked in.Quote:

Smokers suck.
Even if they do only smoke outside, they still come and stink up the sheets and furniture with their smoke soaked clothes.
Fucking disgusting 1950s stupidity
Plenty of places don't take cash anymore. And IDGAF about pseudo-liberatian bullshit that says otherwise. A real libertarian perspective is that the merchant is perfectly free to take only morgantown burnt sofas as payment. and you're perfectly free to not shop there.Quote:

Woodinville’s Molbak’s to shut down after recent exclusion from Gardens District project
WOODINVILLE, Wash. — Molbak’s Garden + Home announced Monday its intention to close down operations after eleventh-hour negotiations with their developer/landlord to stay in their long-term home failed, according to a media release from the company.
Part of Woodinville for the past 67 years, Molbak’s mediation efforts with Green Partners, LLC, were not successful.
“Despite our best efforts, we have not been able to come to an agreement with Green Partners. There are no financially viable options that will allow Molbak’s to keep operating as the kind of nursery, company and community resource we want to be,” said Julie Kouhia, CEO of Molbak’s. “After considering many different possibilities and a great deal of discussion with the Molbak family, we’ve determined that we no longer have a path forward.”
Starting in 2008, Molbak’s had been working with Green Partners to develop more than 19 acres of property in Woodinville into The Gardens District, of which Molbak’s was supposed to be the centerpiece.
However, in November, Molbak’s was informed they were no longer part of the project and their agreement with Green Partners was terminated.
Details on phasing down its operations are still being worked on, according to Molbak’s. The business has 70 full-time employees, 45 part-time and seasonal employees, hundreds of vendors, and hundreds of thousands of customers.
“The Gardens District was Molbak’s commitment to our customers and community. It was a sustainable and strategic vision for our future that would allow us to stay in our Woodinville home,” said Kouhia. “We’re all struggling to understand what has happened. People are confused, shocked and heartbroken.”
In a statement, the Molbak family said:
We know this is incredibly difficult news for our employees and their families and the many other friends of Molbak’s throughout our industry, the Puget Sound, the country and the world.
The Gardens District was an exciting plan for our future and our opportunity to remain in Woodinville for decades to come. A new Molbak’s was supposed to be the heart of the project. To not be able to realize that vision is heartbreaking to us.
Our roots run deep. We can’t say enough about the amazing Molbak’s team, our loyal customers, our supportive vendors and the many community partnerships we’ve made over the years.
Family businesses are special. We’re grateful for the opportunity to share the passion for horticulture, floriculture and community that Egon and Laina began in 1956 and nurtured and grew in Woodinville for 67 years.
Thank you for your place in our family’s business. While Molbak’s may be coming to an end, the work we have all done together will last in the hearts, friendships and professional relationships we all share.
It's the morons who just roll through that big fat line on the pavement telling them where to STOP. There are a few intersections in my town where they purposely pull 30 feet past that line because there's a rail trail and a crosswalk that they just have to stop in the middle of so that people have to go into US Rt 6 to get past them or wait through a whole light cycle and it makes it really sketchy to make a left turn into that street. And then there's the geniuses that don't pull far enough forward to trigger the light (most of the lights here use a magnetic pad for left turn lanes). Dumb fucks will sit through multiple light cycles before getting pissed and going through at the worst possible time.Quote:

sheesh, I can tell you have hypertension if this makes you go off the ranting rails. go ski, it'll make you feel better
Did you really just check my spelling and use it to infer some sort of superiority claim?
I'm pissed that there's an optimization that makes everyone go faster and assholes break the system by paying cash. You said "well it's their right" as if 1.) That matters and 2.) I would give a fuck. But keep spell checking people if that makes you feel better about your your fondness of a cash-paying utopia at fucking Costco.
Seems like there should be two lanes at the store.
At the Costco? You think?Quote:

Paying with cash is almost as bad as paying with checks. Intelligent countries are well on their way to a cashless society. I'm sure the U.S. will get there about 20 years after everyone else.
Until I can buy weed and gamble with digital money I can never bee truly cashless.Quote:

this isn’t office space, ma’am
Maybe people (who are not good at budgeting/saving money) that want to avoid the 20%+ CC interest rates? Using cash helps them avoid “over spending”?Quote:

My ex had a bunch of basement work done this summer. Power goes out during the epic rainstorm and the fancy battery backup pump doesn't kick in.
I figure there's no way I can determine what, if anything, we can do about it without looking at it, so I drive over. Fuckers who did the work apparently left the battery cables hooked up less than finger tight, so not only was the DC pump not activated when power cut and water came in; the battery was dead.
Ok, go to pull the battery from her Bronco Sport, and the air box has to come out to get the battery out.
Battery works but has different terminal style, so it's now ziptied in place.
Responding to comments:
At the Costco Food court specifically there usually isn't a person at the register. Someone who's job is to prepare kiosk-ordered food has to do it.
Kiosks take debit cards if people (very reasonably) don't want to use a CC. Literally anyone with a bank account has no excuse not to use it unless they want to slow everyone down.
"Oh you can wait two minutes" I wonder how patient you are when you're stuck behind someone driving fifteen under the limit on a one lane road.
There are people who can't get credit cards. There are people who can't even get bank accounts with debit cards. There is a cash econony out there that overentitled people like you are likely unaware of. And then there are people who use cash for the sole purpose of pissing you off, so thank you for making their day. I bet you get mad at the supermarket when old people slow things down at the checkout line, don't you?Quote:

I’m with Steve, fuck cash.
That said, stop fucking complaining about going anywhere where this could be a problem. You dumbass.
You're entitled to feel that way.Quote:

But I also strongly support food stamps.
But also, they should be easier to use.
(Maybe they are now? It’s been a while since I’ve been behind someone paying with them. But I used to live outside Baltimore, and now live outside Tahoe, so that probably has something to do with it.)
EBT card
I'm not sure but I don't think they even let you in the door of Costco without a bank account.
