I'm imagining a "compromise" in which workers with regular intestinal issues are allowed to use a normal toilet, which of course makes people feel great, because now all your coworkers know about your major league shits.

They were going to find out eventually, when everyone shits on their boss's desk to protest these new toilets

I'm sure you know this but they got rid of that line like way back in 2009

Though curiously they don't correct reporters or interviewers when they say that's their policy :thunk:

Yeah, I've had a contract job where all time away from our workstations was logged, and that included going to the bathroom. It's some serious garbage. Most of my coworkers would come in early, stay late, or skip breaks to "make up" for time they had spent in the bathroom.

No tipping!!!

(Why would there be tipping, you ask? Apparently Dave asks requires you to tip them to keep the service running, because they're just plucky lil' honest working people like you and definitely not funded by Mark Cuban)

Shame Boy

Oh they don't require you to tip they just make it hard not to tip and guilt the hell out of you into doing it. Also there's a subscription fee but they spend it paying the costs of running their business and that doesn't count for some reason shut up.

quote:

Dave lives off of tips, kind of like a waiter but with fur. So, while tipping is optional, it’s greatly appreciated!

Tips allow us to help people without charging the insane interest rates of most banks. Dave charges 0% interest. Compare that to the 3,250% APR your bank charges for overdraft fees!

What about the $1 monthly membership? Most people don’t know that we get fees for providing you this service. Connecting to your bank, getting your balance updates, sending you texts if you’re about to overdraft – these all cost us money. We use the $1 monthly membership fee to offset some of these costs. So, your tips are really what keep our lights on!

Plus, we donate a tree for every % you tip through our partner, Trees For The Future (https://www.trees.org). Trees aren't just good for the environment -- Trees for the Future greatly benefit entire economies in Sub-Saharan Africa. Your donations help families transition from destructive farming techniques to a sustainable agricultural practice that empowers and sustains them for generations. Not only would planting a tree by yourself cost more, but by donating a tree through us, you're literally saving lives. Want to know more? Check out our article on Trees.

Why do you hate trees, rear end in a top hat :colbert:

I can perfectly imagine how this was pitched.

"So we've all been there right, a week before payday and you've got bills going out and not enough money in the ban... [glances around at confused billionaires looking like they're listening to an alien] ... Ok so you're in college and you need money right now to buy cocaine and your trust fund won't pay out again for another week, right? [billionaires' faces all light up and nod in unison] What are you gonna do? Why not ask your friend Dave, he's always there to spot you some cash! [clicks to next slide showing white dude in large douchebag sunglasses and a shirt that says DAVE, holding fan of $100 bills]"
