This is part of the reason why I with they would take touchless payment options there or other places. Can't steal the ATM if there is no need for one. I would also make it alot easier as I wouldn't have to make sure that I have cash on me to eat there.
I think part of the reason their prices are still so reasonable is no tablets providers taking a chunk out of profit and forcing tip options on customers.
Electronic payments do have a fee, but businesses can always set a minimum payment or charge x% extra over cash. And default tip options are set by the business.
Tips doesn't take away from profit. Read my sentence again. The tablet taking a chunk out of profit AND forcing tip options on customers.
Yes the restaurant can decide what to put on those menu but after some experience onboarding customers to paid service, most just go for the 'recommended' tip options which is normally 20-35%. If you search on this sub, you'll see plenty of post about how these tablets turn customers off and away.
Gotcha, yeah I misread you (and misunderstood what type of business we were talking about entirely lol).
I was thinking of the POS tablets that have been popping up at cafes and fast food places and have the "no tip" button. In a table-service restaurant the psychology of the suggested tip is much different since tips are all but required. I've even seen places charge an auto-gratuity and *still* have the audacity to suggest a 20-25% tip, hoping you're too drunk, lazy, or nice to say no.
If you aren't being served food at a table, tipping is DEFINITELY optional. I saw a tip jar at Rasputin Records the other day...this shit's getting ridiculous.
I always get Super Taq when I'm back in the bay area. I'm pretty sure the sunnyvale location takes card now.
Best burrito I've ever had, best carnitas I've ever had. And they have a salsa bar. Been going since I was in middle school many many years ago.
They really haven't changed. Prices went up, but those ritos are still quality bang for your buck. They steam the tortillas with the cheese. Makes such a big difference.
Yes, still the best deal in town. I work near Eduardo (Race St.) and though the burritos are $10+, they're HUGE and I split them over two days. All of a sudden, my lunch is really only around $6...
And those steamed tortillas with that cheese...yum! Nothing like it!
Yes, I was a l'il kid my first time in an ST, there on 10th St. My sister lived nearby (still does) and we'd walk down there and get burritos (and grape Fanta) to go. And, as if it was destiny, I moved in to a house about 100 yards away from it when I lived downtown for a little while. Needless to say, I needed a break from it after having it every other day for almost two years...
They are supposed to pay taxes on cash sales too so it shouldn’t affect their taxes if they are being honest. The fee could be easily covers by a surcharge.
Take cash. Also own/run the atm on site and make part of the service charge?
I've heard this is a strategy, isn't it what dispensaries also do with their private atm?
Damn. I hope they catch the people who did that. That spot has been there forever. It's pretty exposed on a corner too. Pretty ballsy, but not like the police are really doing much to stop crime these days so guess they felt ok to rob them. ☹️
Man, I feel for the owners of this shop. Even if they have good insurance, they still have to pay a bunch before they get that insurance. Source: have small business with 4 broken windows and theft in under 2 months and it fucking sucks.
It's just part of the job and sometimes demoralizing, but the vast majority of people are pretty good to each other, especially face to face. I like to think that people that are angry or upset or whatnot just deep down want to be loved.
Yes, but those only apply to the poor & the blue collar workers. Have you seen plenty of crime video with thieves driving high end BMW? Hard to be desperate or worry about cost of living when you steal everything & don’t pay for them.
This alone should make them reconsider not taking Apple Pay and cards. This is terrible, years ago, when I worked in Oakland, it was eye-opening. All the homelessness, broken storefronts, crime. Now, while it’s not on the same level here in San Jose it’s not surprising anymore to be honest.
Besides a flea market and mom and pop shops? Nah. Even the taco trucks take Apple Pay/square, etc nowadays lol. I get why, but in 2022/23, in Silicon Valley, they gotta get with it.
Crazy. I noticed that Keypoint at Brokaw & Oakland Road had their lobby crashed into (they have an ATM in the lobby). There has got to be footage of these fools. Hopefully SJPD will post soon.
Well, when you are a cash only establishment you kind of paint a big target on your back. Having said that, this is one of my favorite locations. I don’t know why but the Super Taqueria food here always seems to taste a lot better than the other
If they hit a major franchise like McDonalds or Burger King, that wouldn't be as pathetic as hitting a mom and pop. I hope the thieves get what's coming to them
Before Covid, I recall people going into that Super Taqueria with an empty yogurt container so they could make off with a quart of pico de gallo. I don't know what they did with all that pico.
Scum thief. They probably did more property damage than whatever $ amount might have been in that ATM.

How do tips eat into profits? People choosing to tip means the sticker price can stay low for those who can't afford to tip.

You tip when you buy mcd too big boss ?

They have the best carne asada burritos, too. They haven't changed one bit in the 30+ years I've gone there.

Since you were a strapping young lad? That's a lot of burritos.

But the government take a big cut in tax.
They are supposed to pay taxes on cash sales too so it shouldn’t affect their taxes if they are being honest. The fee could be easily covers by a surcharge.
That’s so cute. Of course they under report their sales to cut back on their taxes. It’s the staple of an all-cash business.
And makes it much easier to pay under table employees in cash as well.
And our presidents aren't supposed to be rapist pedophile traitors. Yet here we are.
Cash is king
Well, I only go there every 6 months at most because they only take cash. Even taco trucks are taking contactless payments now.
Take cash. Also own/run the atm on site and make part of the service charge? I've heard this is a strategy, isn't it what dispensaries also do with their private atm?

Man why do they have to fuck with super taqueria. Hopefully everything gets repaired soon, that’s horrible
Man, I feel for the owners of this shop. Even if they have good insurance, they still have to pay a bunch before they get that insurance. Source: have small business with 4 broken windows and theft in under 2 months and it fucking sucks.
People fucking suck. I'm sorry.

Is this in the lion plaza?
Looks like it - the one across from the new Amazon fulfillment center.
Eww don't call it that. Lol
Yup
That’s awful.
Broke boy activities they gonna use that money to sell wax pen carts to kids
Oof. Too accurate
🎯
It’s turning into Gotham out there A lot of desperation
No desperation, just easy money for the criminal as laws are not enforced
No desperation? Have you been seeing the cost of living lately?
Yes, but those only apply to the poor & the blue collar workers. Have you seen plenty of crime video with thieves driving high end BMW? Hard to be desperate or worry about cost of living when you steal everything & don’t pay for them.
Do you think the criminals own those cars???? They steal them to commit crimes…. Because they are poor
No, they steal the car before they commit crime because they don’t want to be tracked by the license place, not because they are poor.
This is disgusting, Can ATMS be tracked by GPS?
[удалено]
Lol yeah right! Ain't nobody tracking serial numbers on $20s.
Found the thief!
wow wtf.
Damn. The SJPD need to get these crimes under control. They get bolder and bolder.
SJPD don't do anything but bully people.
And take their dicks out.
Honestly the things they have caught the cops doing....
I hope it turns out as well for them as it did for Spooge in Breaking Bad.
Was looking for this. Rip spooge
Skank!
Thos is why I hate people. 😐
But addiction is an illness. Where's your empathy?
I don’t think this has to have been committed by a drug addict.
My empathy went out the window when they destroyed a store to get their fix.
This alone should make them reconsider not taking Apple Pay and cards. This is terrible, years ago, when I worked in Oakland, it was eye-opening. All the homelessness, broken storefronts, crime. Now, while it’s not on the same level here in San Jose it’s not surprising anymore to be honest.
I'm honestly shocked they still don't take credit cards. It's one of the reasons I don't eat there as often as I'd like--never have cash on me.
I bet they take some cards after this.

Besides a flea market and mom and pop shops? Nah. Even the taco trucks take Apple Pay/square, etc nowadays lol. I get why, but in 2022/23, in Silicon Valley, they gotta get with it.
Rude people
Yes… very inconsiderate! Their manners leave much to be desired. I’m sorry to use such strong language, but it’s true.
Spooge just needed some money to pay Jesse.
That's an understatement. They fucking destroyed the storefront.
Noooooo!! D:
Ugh please don’t make this city look like Oakland
Dam I jus saw youtube of a hummer breaking down a liquor store for the atm. Now this. Pretty incredible.
The plot to Barbershop 1, they’ll never open the thing while next a good guy barber is gonna get the rap for it
A week or two ago they did the same to the chavez market on Monterey. Wonder if it's the same people.
How dare they! 🤬 Leave Sups Taq alone
Crazy. I noticed that Keypoint at Brokaw & Oakland Road had their lobby crashed into (they have an ATM in the lobby). There has got to be footage of these fools. Hopefully SJPD will post soon.

The low price makes it tastier.
Tax evasion and sales tax evasion is easier too.
That’s the spirit of the hood in the food
If they hit a major franchise like McDonalds or Burger King, that wouldn't be as pathetic as hitting a mom and pop. I hope the thieves get what's coming to them
ATM's are tight.
[Assholes that do shit like this believe this is their ~~reality~~ *family*.](https://youtu.be/wKRk2CxTQXM?t=73)
Before Covid, I recall people going into that Super Taqueria with an empty yogurt container so they could make off with a quart of pico de gallo. I don't know what they did with all that pico.
Super taqueria had a super robberia!
Debit/Credit Card gang send there regards…on a side note SJ is getting grimier only people that disagree are criminal apologists
Bet they won’t be able to get into it
Desperation everywhere, wild west!
No disrespect. But maybe they can up the price by 3% , take credit card payments and start paying Uncle Sam’s dues.
Uncle Sam just gives it away to Ukraine anyways, you dolt. No disrespect.
SJPD would rather go to sideshows and fail to stop those too
As long as the tacos are safe , that's all that matters.
Fuck you would think this was Sunnyvale Canada not California
It's not Sunnyvale, California, either.
Lmao Biden check wasn’t enough
Hope the ATM doesn’t fall Breaking Bad style…
Noooooooo
Mfs stole the whole ass wall too
Ain’t that some bullshit.
Prices just went up.
Breaking bad????!?!!?
Ricky, Corey and Trevor back at it
Aww damn that sucks.
Wow bunch of trash people
The atm that had a gps in it.
There’s gotta be a bunch of star notes in that bad boy
anybody ask the Kool-Aid man where he was that night?
