i briefly worked in a candy factory that had a machine with similar signage, and it would accept cards, but would also charge a $2 surcharge, as though it were an ATM.
the only way to get a soda at list price was to use coins.

place was insane.
there was rampant employee theft, as literally everyone who worked the floor there was either an illegal immigrant, a felon, or in an inpatient drug treatment program.
also the food vending machine charged $5 for a hotpocket.

it was nuts, and very indicative of how capitalism works in america.

onetime, i got put on a line i'd never worked before, in the second position.
i'm not going fast enough, so dude comes over and starts yelling at me:
"hey! you go 'one, two, three,' it's not that loving hard to count to three, is it? are you a retard?"
and i was like "well you told me orientation matters, and these things are just dumped out of a bag, and only one of four possible configurations is valid, so i'm really counting to twelve, and it's the dexterity that's the issue, not the counting."
"OH! so you can count to twelve, but not three? fukken weird. MOVE FASTER RETARD."

another time a girl who was ill and rode the same van in with me collapsed on the floor, they pulled her up, made her work more until she took a bathroom break, collapsed in the toilet, so they fired her on the spot.

another time, i was working a line, that seemed to be going more or less smoothly if slow. apparently it was slow enough that the cost of running it outran the revenue it would provide so they shut it off two hours from end of shift, called all the workers from it in a circle, and told us we'd violated our contracts and would not be paid for that shift, and would all be reassigned and to go home and come back the next day.

another time, i get to my station and the supervisor is like "sorry man, you have to run two and a half stations today a few folks didn't show up. it's not that hard, fold these displays up, make sure those guys have boxes, and anytime something gets stuck in the labeler, give it a nudge."
i'm like "okay."
a bit into this, i've found my rhythm. things only got stuck like 1 in 5 times and i can easily run and nudge them between foldings, and someone else is helping the dudes have boxes already.
this other dude comes up and is like "let me help you fold those."
he grabs one, fucks it up and tears it apart, and i'm like "dude, go back to your station, i got this."
a bit later, i'm like 5 seconds later than normal from nudging a thing, he dashes in front of me as i approach it, and nudges it in such a manner the laser burns the tag on all wrong.
i'm like "hey man, please stay at your station."
he looks dejected, and instead goes over to the box guys and tries to "fix" their tape gun.
it was working, just awkwardly, and he completely breaks it.
supervisor comes to him and is like "stay at your loving station."
for the first time i see what his station is:
he watched the conveyor belt and one kind of box he'd take off and put on a pallet, all other kinds, he'd let pass.
soon he was running up the conveyor belt to grab boxes as soon as they got out of the labeler, and then running them on foot about 50ft back to his pallets.
supervisor was like "cut that out too that's why we have a conveyor."
it was sad and weird.

the fall of capitalism may not necessarily be on favorable terms, but one thing's for sure, if we don't take it down, it will fall on its own, and it's taking down the world along with it.

or, like rosa luxemburg said: it's either socialism or barbarism.
