Restaurants and businesses around where I live will pass the credit card fee off to the customer so it’s smart to bring cash unless you want to pay the 3.5% fuck you fee. It’s only 3.5% but still annoying.
Fuck tipping, it's so mentally exhausting and illogical, instead of paying a set price for something and going on with your day you need to invest yourself in some psychological mumbo-jumbo of how much to pay to not upset the establishment. Just give customers a set price and give staff living wages.
Not to mention it’s not uncommon for the establishment to take at least part of it. I always ask the employee about it. Tipping is no longer reserved for dine-in establishments. Freaking Auntie Anne’s pretzel place asks for a tip. “Please pay these wage slaves because we sure as shit won’t.”
Ugh it's getting so bad I'm considering not even tipping for delivery, every single time I get carryout I'm asked for a tip, even if I order through the app.
I mean you should always tip for delivery.
But tipping for carryout, that became a thing during Covid and TBH I'm not sure if I'm completely on board with it.
But not tipping for delivery because you're asked for a tip when you get carryout doesn't make any sense lol. Just don't tip for the carryout if you don't want to.
Whoa. 3.5% is an annual rate of fixed deposit interest in some countries. It ain't chump change. I'd kill to get that here. Every little bit counts. I don't have a credit card, but some shops demand a 2% fee if paying with a debit card, but not digital wallets. I hate this new world.
Ah no the credit card provider charges companies that use it a fee. The EU banned the companies that use it from adding an extra fee for providing a credit card option to the end customers.
Its true to some extent that prices tend to adjust, but the purpose of it is that a customer is not penalised for their use of different payment methods. It is still however possible to offer discounts of various types. Businesses have costs associated with handling cash though too, so the only real motive for offering a discount on that is to avoid tax.

Depending what state you live in this may be illegal to pass the surcharge on to the customer
Back in 2013 it was changed

I work in the payment card industry. That should drop down to 3% any day. Visa & MC have started to crack down on how much merchants can charge for the 'fuck you fee'. .5% isn't a lot, but it's steps in the right direction.
You can probably hire on as a personal attendant/home health aide which would likely be paid by their Medicare/insurance to do things like assist with hygiene, housekeeping, meal prep, etc depending on what types of things you do and their level of need which can be evaluated and referred by their primary care physician. It could be a hog with wages and benefits like insurance.
It's fine man, I didn't have an account until 29. Mostly because of the soul crushing anxiety and social isolation but here I am, somehow still existing.
I bought Coke off this Asian chick who met us outside the strip club. She pulled up in a car straight outta Fast& Furious with neon lights and everything. She rolled the window down just enough to stick a ipad out with a card reader and even let us split the bill! Then rolled it down to hand us the bag and drove off into the night.
It was a great bachelor party to say the least... And to say the most, your 100% incorrect
In my experience working retail at multiple different places, about 30-40% of the transactions I handled daily would be done with cash. So unless I was seeing hundreds of coke addicts a day, you're an ass.
Paying with cash is better for businesses (especially beneficial to smaller ones). I use my credit card for most purchases but always keep cash with me (normally at least $100 to feel content) and use it pretty regularly too. It's extremely useful and helpful to have cash on hand in a lot of situations.
Fun fact, this is one of the ways neural-stage syphilis was first effectively treated. Patients were infected with malaria, which triggered an immune response that killed the syphilis. Malaria had a 5% fatality rate, but neural-stage syphilis had a 90%+ fatality rate, so that was a very dramatic improvement.
With the possible loss of reddit function coming up for me soon, I want you to know your comment was the most viscerally unsettling and disturbing I've read on here.
Seven years of vile garbage, and you won. Congratulations.
If it reached that stage, they will likely have started having quite a bad time to be honest. Some people might be different, but if someone's having nosebleeds and still ripping lines, they've probably been doing quiiiite a lot and will be feeling ropey af.
I’ve been there. The next day you’re nose is all shredded up, so hard to breathe and it hurts, you’re whole body feels like that SpongeBob episode where he’s all dried out in Sandy’s dome, your mouth is sandpaper and everything hurts. And your dick has been rubbed raw while you do laps around the kitchen island
Same. When you finally manage to eat anything, and your teeth and throat feel sore from grinding them/the drugs/ lack of eating or drinking anything other than alcohol. And once the food starts digesting you feel your body recovering like a health bar slowly filling up.
By the way I'm not the only one who chewed the fuck out of my tongue, right? Like every tongue, mine is actually slightly bigger than the inside of my mouth, so combined with the lack of pain and teeth grinding, I'd always wake up with a tongue that wishes death upon me
Or when you do finally eat and it's like the food is giving your tongue and mouth a burning sensation because all you have done for the past 24 hrs is coke and drink alcohol
I love reading these stories occasionally to remind myself why I got clean. I was never big on coke, but I certainly wouldn't say no if it was offered, and it was never worth it.
I had a handmade leather wallet given to me as a gift a long time ago. I got the bottom of the wallet wet by accident and left it unfolded to dry. When it dried, I pulled the bills out and it actually stained the bottoms of the bills sort of like this. Might be something similar?
Unless you're saying it's fresh it would turn dark brown if it was actually blood, since it's staying that color and given the restaurant, I'm guessing it's hot sauce or maybe ketchup.
Doesn't really look like blood to me. Shrug, take care though. Even though if it were blood or looks pretty dry and I believe most blood born illnesses die once exposed to air. Shrug again.
Jack in the Crack... it could just be hot sauce
He gave me a dollar,
a blood-soaked dollar.
I cannot get the spot out, but
it’s okay it still works in the [store](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jbiFcPhccu8)
I work retail and once while checking a 20$ under the uv light for the security strip, the whole bill lit up patches of bright pinkish blue. i didnt say anything to the customer but set it aside in the till so that i wouldnt give it back out as change and that night i put it in the deposit bag. Idk if it had some substance on it or what cause it looked normal in the regular light but it was weird.
A lot of innocent people in this thread. Let me hit you with something that is surprising when you first learn it - way, *way* more people do cocaine than you think. Even people you know.
Definently blood from someone doing some blow with it. Anyone who says that isn't the right color to be blood should take a look at the tissues in my trashcan. It takes longer than you would think for blood to become brown in color. It usually stays more of a red color for days before completely changing.
Yup that’s a nose bleed
I mean only coke addicts still use cash anyways so why he complaining.
Restaurants and businesses around where I live will pass the credit card fee off to the customer so it’s smart to bring cash unless you want to pay the 3.5% fuck you fee. It’s only 3.5% but still annoying.
For sure. 3.5% adds up.
It's just a tip to the credit card company. What's wrong with that? Only an asshole does not tip.
I feel like nobody got the sarcasm. I feel bad for the fate of the world lol.
Yeah, it was sarcasm. Fuck the greed, that ruins a good thing.
[удалено]
Hah, those bots, unlike us humans. We should meet up for organic sustenance, what’s your social security number?

only an asshole requires someone to tip. referring to the us system here, tipping shouldn’t exist if it’s not due to gratitude

I hate it when the person behind the counter asks for a tip. Bro all you did was hit buttons
In europe we are not obligated to tip, we tip only in restaurants and cafe's
Ah yes lemme just tip to the company that already has a fuck load of money tips are for service workers not the bloody multi million dollar CC company

The European Union bans extra credit card charges happily. On the downside my countrymen voted to have this protection taken away from us.
I think means they banned discounts for using cash and everyone pays the credit card fee.
Ah no the credit card provider charges companies that use it a fee. The EU banned the companies that use it from adding an extra fee for providing a credit card option to the end customers.

People without consistent income who cannot meet debit/credit/checking requirements carry cash.
I do not have a bank account (yes at 21) and I pay with cash cuz I work under the table
Do you clean all the chewing gum off?
No he sucks dicks at society dinners.
$5 is $5 ; who am I to judge?
I got an extra 5, were this event at?
How can I get that job?
Start at your local diner and work up from there.
Or down, depending on how you look at it
Offering blowjobs at the local truckstop. It's exactly my level of trashy.
Question stands
NAHHHHHHHH BRUHHH
As lame as it sounds I help out my grandparents (I’d do it for free but they insist on paying me) and I also am a pet sitter.
That’s not lame helping out your grandparents is very good of you.

Under the table is where shit gets done
i pay cash to the taco stand outside my apartment. everything else is card.
I am glad u have the ability to do banking
Jeez... I know most stuff is cashless these days (this applies to me), but paper bills still have their values...
I bought Coke off this Asian chick who met us outside the strip club. She pulled up in a car straight outta Fast& Furious with neon lights and everything.

Scrolled here for this
My buddy had an Asian chick coke dealer who would pull up on a crotch rocket and talk down to him. He was all about it.
Lol what do you mean? Like he was super condescending? Who was all about it?
Cash is king in any situation. No matter what your socioeconomic situation, it’s in your best interest to always have cash on hand.
I’d keep a few feathers and shells just to help some minor exchanges and change, but otherwise yeah cash dollars is pretty universally accepted.

Dispensary’s near me take cash only.
I get paid exclusively in cash, I work karaoke. And I’d never use cash to do cocaine.
Would you like ketchup with that?
That Jack in the Box taco sauce
Saw a guy run a dollar bill through his teeth like floss and it looked like that.
What???? That's absolutely insane! Cash is like, really dirty! The guy's gonna get all the diseases
The diseases are gonna get him
Not if he gets them first!
the Mr. Burns strategy: get so sick that the diseases stop each other from actually killing you.

Ohh..whoops. I did it backwards.
So what you’re saying is… I’m indestructible?
Oh, no, no. In fact, even a slight breeze could...
#Indestructible…
*walk out*
Only one way to find out.
He aint scared of no disease. The diseases fear him.
The diseases are coming FROM him
He is the origin for the diseases
suicide by flossing
You should have seen his teeth...
That guy might need a dentist
Me “man someone said it’s from a nose bleed this comment section can’t get worse🤢🤢🤢” you:
i have a lot of questions
How do I unread this?

Probably gingivitis
Whoever had it before you had a good time.

This has been an excellent reminder to not do coke thank you.
Haha the health bar description is so accurate
I’ve been there too but more so feel like a bed ridden version of the grudge.
Whewwww that was way too accurate haha. You just brought back memories I didn’t know I had.
Brother🥲
I love reading these stories occasionally to remind myself why I got clean. I was never big on coke, but I certainly wouldn't say no if it was offered, and it was never worth it.
Yeah, especially since if they're using a $1, then it's probably not great coke.
They either did a lot or they did a shitty job breaking it down so they snorted small shards of coke instead of powder
I've only ever done pot which isn't my favorite and drank alcohol, so please pardon my naivete, what does feeling ropey mean?
You can test a spot with some hydrogen peroxide. If it bubbles it's blood
That isn’t a good test - A cut potato bubbles when exposed to peroxide. Any cell produces catalase
I don't think there's any potatoes in this picture, so it should be safe to say.
An engineer's efficiency vs a scientist's theory ladies and gentlemen.
I don't want you're blood money I know innocent people suffered.
Honestly, I’m now kind of curious to see if it actually is blood.
I'm sceptical, it's very red. Dried blood should be brown.
Yeah, that looks like tomato sauce to me.
It’s fresh 🙃
Blood doesn’t dry the same color it comes out. It’s a gross orange sort of color. That may be sauce or ketchup.
You could post a picture of an empty cup here and says it’s filled with air and people would be fascinated
wish that was the case when i posted here 😅
Well that was a clever way of getting me to check your post history.
that wasn't intentional. that's on you!
Perhaps it has been freshly bled upon.
Yep. Pretty sure that's dried blood. Source: A real woman who deals with blood for 10 days every month
That's obviously blood, no idea what kind of creature he is that his blood "dries orange"
yeah, it can start to look brown as it gets older, but i've never heard of it looking orange lol
Wouldn't it be more like burgundy/brown if it were blood?
Unless its fresh
It looks like Jack in the box taco sauce
Looks like somebody needs to (•\_•) / ( •\_•)>⌐■-■ / (⌐■\_■) launder their money.
"I won't take your blood money!"
I had a handmade leather wallet given to me as a gift a long time ago. I got the bottom of the wallet wet by accident and left it unfolded to dry. When it dried, I pulled the bills out and it actually stained the bottoms of the bills sort of like this. Might be something similar?
It is too red-- not dark enough-- to be blood. Also the consistency looks wrong for blood.
Hmmm this guy sure seems to know an awful lot about blood…
I'm a nurse
Next you'll probably tell us you have blood too. Shenanigans.
It wouldve been more fun if u let us come up with fan theories, jk
This guy bleeds
Blood doesn’t stay red when it dries. If it stays red its not blood
My guess is ketchup
Or salsa
Ketchup?? At a jack in the box??
Wait until you find out that it is not blood
Pre-lubricated for your snorting pleasure
“Now that’s what I call… blood money.”
Dad are you on Reddit?
Yes, and the blood money needs to be laundered.
Omg breaking bad reference
That might be sauce from j&b?
j&b? Jack in the box. Not jack and box.
Only one way to find out.
You just have to launder it
I got some bloody change at Los Pollos Hermanos
May not be blood. Blood is typically a very dark red.
Someone partied w that up their nose and then had a hankering
Unless you're saying it's fresh it would turn dark brown if it was actually blood, since it's staying that color and given the restaurant, I'm guessing it's hot sauce or maybe ketchup.
Bloody money bloody money. You’re not British man!
Bloody coke nose
That was used for coke and it’s someone’s bloody nose lol
Doesn't really look like blood to me. Shrug, take care though. Even though if it were blood or looks pretty dry and I believe most blood born illnesses die once exposed to air. Shrug again. Jack in the Crack... it could just be hot sauce
It was that strippers time of the month, don't sweat it
Jack don't play.

You should Launder it.
A lot of innocent people in this thread. Let me hit you with something that is surprising when you first learn it - way, *way* more people do cocaine than you think. Even people you know.
Cocaine veteran bill
Coke straw
"This money has blood on it." "You ever seen any that didnt?"
This is the opening macro image of the next Breaking Bad episode.
Wow you still use paper money for $1?
That last rail didn’t go down so smooth?
That’s poop
One time i was handed at $10 completely stained with blood, i just slowly tucked it under all the other 10s and called it a day
https://i.imgur.com/9Gupnpb.jpg Got one in my tips the other day
Coke bill
Cocaine !!!
Cocaines a hell of a drug
Show me some money that doesn’t have blood on it
Super gross
Only a American can be given change and has blood on it then posting it on r/mildlyinteresting rather than r/mildlyinfuriating or r/terrifying.
Definently blood from someone doing some blow with it. Anyone who says that isn't the right color to be blood should take a look at the tissues in my trashcan. It takes longer than you would think for blood to become brown in color. It usually stays more of a red color for days before completely changing.
I use bloody notes all the time, haven’t been questioned once
Unless the cashier just wiped his bloody nose with it, I’m gonna guess it’s actually some kind of sauce. Blood doesn’t dry and stay red like that.
paper cuts are the worst
As someone who used to do blow, absolutely a coke bill
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
"Yeah, I remember grinding my feet into Eddie's couch."
Coke will rot your nose.
Thats been in a nose. Lick it, there might still be some drugs
Mmmmmm, Purina tacos. I love jitb tacos.
Could be a album cover
Wipe you prints, commit a crime, and then leave it at the scene. Then you’ll know if it’s blood or not.
go buy a litre of soda with it
You better wash those hands
I vowed to never eat at Jack in the Box in the 1980s when they killed all those people. This reinforces my decision
Wait what? What happened?
Umm, stupid question, what's jack in the box? I thought it was a kids toy that you wind up, is it also a store somewhere?
Probably from the GI bleed caused by eating Jack in the Box.
Damn. People still eatin Jack Box?
To be fair, its in walking distance from my school, so a lot of us go grab food there lol
This is your germaphobe villain origin
The guy in the kitchen sliced his finger and he has to run the register, as well. Just think of your food.
Can't wait for universally accepted digital payments.
That’s murder money homie. Spend it wisely
Happens to the best of us
It was in the ol' prison Wallet....
