mrflynn03 Posted November 18, 2023 Report Share Posted November 18, 2023 It really annoys me when people complain about prices at the checkout while they fumble for their debit card while saying "they always go up and never down". It's called inflation clown, have your card out and ready. You know you will need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing for people paying cash. Have your wallet out and ready to go. Had some old lady (older than me) take 2 minutes to find a nickel (not exaggerating) rather than another dollar bill. I finally got a nickel from my pocket and threw it down to the cashier for her, and said "Here take this, I didn't bring a sleeping bag". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was in high school/college from late 90s to mid 2000s. I had a debit card but a lot places still wanted cash or check. If I knew I was buying something and was using a check I would fill in everything but the amount and sign before going in. Now they have check printers but I've had a few elderly people insist on writing it out. Edited November 18, 2023 by mrflynn03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drroogh Posted November 18, 2023 Report Share Posted November 18, 2023 On the check out theme of pet peeves. Anybody else noticed that with all of the cash back cards, businesses are charging card usage fees to the point you lose money??? Do they want us to go back to writing checks?

I make small purchases using dollar coins. I'm also a coin collector so I like the heft of money. I typically carry about $100 worth of cash and some coins. I carry enough I'm borderline willing to defend myself over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But red with IU on it. It was my dad's. He hated pennies and always paid cash. So he was the guy that would make change. It's my obligation to carry on the tradition. But as a coin collector I grab every wheat penny I find. Edited November 19, 2023 by mrflynn03 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a master at using one of those when I was a teenager, working at a high volume gas station in NW Indiana. Cash was king. CCards were almost unheard of. Gas was 29.9¢ a gallon, so who in their right mind would charge it? Diesel was 16¢ a gallon for the big rigs. Ahhhh.....the good ol' days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only is passing on a credit card processing fee to a customer so directly an absolutely moronic business decision, it actually violates their terms of service to do so! It’s not illegal or anything, but getting cancelled by, say, VISA would usually hurt. It’s a cost of doing business. Raise your prices 5% and lose the silly disclaimer on your menu!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 Which one are you, @DWB? Notice too that the gas is .19 1/2 cents a gallon...My youngest once won a "Back to the Future" trivia contest answering that one... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steubenhoosier Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 (edited) On the grocery store theme: - The employees wheeling around the big bins while shopping for pick up customers are extremely annoying. They don’t seem to care that they take up 2/3rds of the aisle and they stand there looking at their phones for the next item on their list. Picking produce is a real delight as well as time seems to mean nothing to them, being paid by the hour and all. - God bless folks with disabilities who can get out and shop, but those motorized carts are obnoxious. The backup alarm is grating on the nerves. Diagonal parking across an aisle doesn’t work. And, if you are with someone who has a regular cart, you can’t be side by side discussing what to buy, what aisle a certain item is, if something is on sale, or if you have a coupon for it. All those conversations happened Friday between two folks who had no clue or didn’t care that they were blocking the entrance to the aisle.

5fouls Posted December 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 People on an airplane who get up to go to the bathroom 15 minutes into a flight. Can you not take a piss in the terminal before boarding? Was on a flight this afternoon from San Fran to Houston and was unfortunate to be in an aisle seat towards the back of the plane. You cant fathom the number of people that made a bee-line to the bathroom as soon as we reached altitude. And, for the guy in the row across the aisle that got up to stretch midway through the flight and proceeded to bend over and put his ass in my face while touching his toes, all I can say is WTF? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not been to Russia but India and China.

Flown to China and even domestic in China but not India. Russia was getting better but with all of the sanctions now probably not going there again! Good example, we touched down in Amsterdam on a KLM flight from St Petersburg. We were still on the main runway when people were unbuckling and starting to unload the overhead bins! They stopped the plane and in Dutch and English announced they could not move until everyone got back in their seats and buckled again. Apparently none of them understood Dutch or English (I know I don’t understand Dutch) finally one guy who did understand yelled out in Russian and everyone sat down again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
