Can I just pay for my sh@t and go??

My local convenience store went cashless... Now every purchase comes with this:

Are you a rewards member?
Would you like to sign up today?
Would you like to round up for charity?
How would you like your receipt?
Were you satisfied with your experience?

FML.. Can I just pay cash again please?

 

Don't forget... "the machine is going to have you answer a couple questions. The question: Would you like to tip 10, 50, or 1000%?"

I hear you. This is annoying. I stopped shopping at a place b/c I needed to give them my phone number for EVERY transaction. Nope.

 

Would you like a carwash?

No motherfucker. I want my quart of Colt 45 and bag of beef jerky and to be on my way!

 

The local Toxic Hell has a dude working the drive thru that has personality by the trainload. Friendly, chatty, engaging, he is the fucking poster child for what customer service needs to be.

This location (and prolly all of them) have put an Artificial Irritant prompt you have to give your social security number, shoe size and specific gravity of your last solid bowel movement in order to get any “food”. I just answer “human”, and my dude is on the line giving the same great service he’s known for.

When I get to the window I ask if everybody else is as pissed off at the AI bullshit, and he says he’s had people drive off because of it. Told him I would have been one of them if they didn’t patch me through to someone with a pulse.

Imma have to plant a Gordita tree in the back yard or some such shit if this keeps up.

 

If they had a carwash, I would have included it.

The other thing... So they have a self-checkout and a regular checkout for those like DaveK who want smokes, Zyn's, Juul, etc.. She never speaks, just sits and watches her phone. No cleaning, no stocking shelves because the vendors do that. But yeah, the sign on the door says, $17.25 starting pay.

 

How did I miss Toe moving to Minnishithole and getting a new job?

 

Reward them by not shopping there.

 

Are they legally allowed to ban cash transactions? All the paper money I have says it's legal tender for all debts, public and private.

 

There's no legal statute in the US that mandates a business must take cash.

 

Yup. https://www.federalreserve.gov/faqs/currency_12772.htm

 

Would you like to donate $1 to save a dog?

No not today

He just died

SMH

 

That site is lying about it being a govt agency. I wouldnt trust anything on it lol

 

I recently heard a comedian do a segment in their routine on this subject. I don't remember who.

 

Summit Point went cashless for everything from gate entry to food service this season. Felt odd having to bring my credit card to the racetrack. I’m a cash kinda guy. No paper trail for race stuff is my preference. I don’t know if the vendors selling tires etc were taking cash but I imagine they were.
I did not race this year. Were race entries no cash as well? If so I guess I wouldn’t have raced anyway.
Not accepting cash is probably a reflection of internal security problems with employee theft. Apparently McDonalds doesn’t have that problem as they take cash and I would doubt WERA or other race organizations do either.
just a thought: I would think credit card fraud and theft to be mor of an issue than counterfeiting money or employee theft but that is just a gut feel not based on fact

 

My last visit to China it was mostly cashless on any legal transaction. I had a bunch of Mao money in my wallet I basically couldn’t use for anything.
Cashless there keeps down on the haggling but more that the gooberment can keep track of everything bought and sold to keep you from cheating them out of their cut.

Here? Laziness and convenience.

 

worth the re-repost post.

 

Slightly different problem I face every now and then and it's to do with customers as opposed to the store.

It just raised it's ugly head again while grocery shopping for next week, the store was pretty busy for lunchtime and of course nearly everyone has a buggy full to the brim and with it still being school hours the supermarket was light on staff. Why won't people bag their own groceries if there is no one there to do it for them? There were a couple of lines where it took an age for the cashier to ring up the cart and then another age to bag them, all because the lazy bastards paying for it just stood there.

 

Same reason my customers don’t climb the pole to connect their electricity.

That’s part of what they’re paying for.

There are stores here that don’t bag your groceries for you.

And in *some* places, you get to pay a nickel or a dime for every bag that gets used…

 

That's Scandinavia for you. If you want bagged goods, do it yourself and you gotta pay for each bag or bring them along. The supermarket cashier ain't getting off his $20/hour bum to help out.

 

That's what I don't get, I'd rather pay less and bag my own. In fact I always try to bag my own, that way I can throw as much in to one bag as will fit and not have a bag for each item. I also don't have to make several trips in and out to unload.

As for the last part, everywhere I've been in Europe it's like that.
