Shit that annoys you

[old goat]

The use of the word “entitled” annoys the shit out of me.

It was supposed to annoy Steve, not you. Sorry.

[MakersTeleMark]

There are tons of people, especially in the mountains, who function on a strictly cash basis for many reasons.

remember, before the kiosks? standing in line at costco food court?

it was always a few people long. Sometimes you'd wait ten minutes just to make the order. Then there was more time to get the food.

Here's the good news. Costco actually addressed it. And they fucking fixed it. It's awesome. You walk up, you order, a receipt gets printed, and a minute later someone calls your number.

Those people are working, too. You can tell they have a system. They'll batch stuff up, get shit out faster.

It's a really good effective system. A massive improvement. It's fucking awesome.

Most of the time, it works amazingly well. You know when it doesn't? When some asshole decides he's going to throw a wrench in it, take us back to the era of long lines, and try to order at the register with a human interaction. And it fucks with the entire system. Because they're not set up for it anymore.

"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.

Have you considered the benefits of posting to TGR or writing Costco a strongly-worded email while you wait?

If you do, I hope you'll allow me to suggest that you inform them that self-checkout registers commonly accept and dispense change in cash. Please incorporate the tone you've got going here, though. That's what they deserve for spending all that money and neglecting a simple cash reader.

[steve]

Let's be real. If their not having a cash reader is what annoyed me, then that's what I would have posted in a thread called "shit that annoys you."

[johnnyg82]

Yeah, it boggles my mind a bit that normal people would still want to use cash when so many other options are available that are far more convenient.

Cash is still king if you’re hiding out, don’t want to be tracked, or completely off-grid.

[MontuckyFried]

Now it's always bad enough when a place doesn't take cash to begin with, but don't get me started on when they try and make you use some goddam app to even place the order at all! People who make It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia evidently feel our pain on this one. One of the best episodes of the season:



I have seriously been there. Perhaps we all have.

[Danno]

I read the comments. That was annoying.

Dude.

You think cash will be accepted then? I’m hoarding cans of pork and beans.

Ammo will be the lingua franca.

I was going to say there are ways to pay now that are not cash, check, or credit card such as Google and Apple Pay. I'm assuming you can link those directly to a bank account, but I guess I don't know for sure. If that's the case then "some people don't qualify for a credit card" doesn't hold much water.

king soopers used to annoy me in this way. they didn't take applepay, but they were happy to take krogerpay. fuck you king soopers.

about a year ago they came to their senses and fixed it. they no longer annoy me and now i shop at king soopers again.

[skaredshtles]

<snip> it really isn't any different than the person writing a check at the grocery checkout. Yes, they're allowed to, and maybe they don't have a credit card, can't get one, or are too boomer to use it, but it's ok to be annoyed by them.

I'm generally pretty tolerant of the check-writing crowd - they're usually a thousand years old and are probably dealing with all sorts of "got-left-behind" shit already...

What's really annoying is when they wait until all their shit has been scanned, then they suddenly act like they've been taken by surprise and start rooting around in their purse to try to find their checkbook.

FFS - you know you're going to need a check - get that shit pre-filled out so all you gotta do it write in the amount. You've been using those checks for 845 years - this isn't some new procedure for you.

It’s not just credit cards. There’s a large segment of people who are fully unbanked.

What's your address again?

A couple weeks ago I moved $100k in cash from my Moms apartment to a bank so she can be earning 4-5% percent in a HYS account. It was stored in a safe the size of a small briefcase, so easy to steal the whole thing and break the lock wherever you feel comfortable. Driving to the bank I felt nervous as hell, ha.

Holy shit. Well, at least it wasn't in her mattress. Is your mom a retired mid level street dealer?

don't worry I got 10 thousand rounds of ammo too
10 five gallon pails of ready to eat food I bought on the internet for when it goes down
this prepper is ready man

[Mustonen]

Apple and Google pay run through card networks. Need a debit or credit card. So, probably need to be banked.
