peanut- posted:The Sainsburys scan on your phone as you go setup is slick as hell, but I still find it hard to shake the feeling that I'm doing something criminal when shoving food into my rucksack as I walk round the shop. I've been pulled 3 over times in 3 weeks to have 14 random items scanned. It's getting so bad I might sack it off. What pisses me off is that I back my bags in a certain way and they loving gently caress with it.

notaspy posted:Talking of tech and contactless, when I use deliveroo I tip via the app as I don't have cash, is this an awful idea? I have no idea if there are any cuts during transfer to the driver but whenever I've used it the drivers themselves seem pretty appreciative of it so I assume they're getting it.

Soricidus posted:you need better buses mate, can’t think when i last paid a bus fare with anything that wasn’t contactless The buses do contactless. I however do not as I don't have that sort of card. Technically I'm sure I could go and change my bank account but I really appreciate still having the same account I had when I was 14 if only because it doesn't allow me to get overdrawn because I am catastrophically bad at money. Worked out quite well when I last went in because the driver just let me on for free as he couldn't be arsed dealing with cash forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 12:28 on Dec 8, 2020 |

Sometimes it's hard to be the only person in the family who can count past the number of fingers and toes. Just delivered a £20k shock (heavily caveated to say that I am not a financial advisor or accountant and any actions taken or not taken are entirely at the risk of the relative asking me to check calculations) to a relative who entered into a very sloppily worded (but looked good) letter in connection with a loan to help with house purchase, the word 'equity' banded about at will. Relative's lender (also a relative) needs their loan repaying and borrower relative totally underestimated (by £20k) amount due. The level of mathematical ability, particularly where percentages are involved, amongst the general population is dire. (And I'm talking about relatives with post-graduate degrees here). If you're going to get private loans, especially involving property, for heaven's sake get them drawn up properly by people who know what they're doing!

Probably best to leave the squiggly bits off and just focus on making the list look like a child wrote it. Otherwise he might cotton on to you being a full grown adult.

Every post on Traveller rights has a bunch of comments proving its necessity. It's interesting how similar those comments look to how common anti-Black racism looked in the early 90s in terms of "I'll respect them when they stop stealing from my shop". Anti-Black common racism seems now to have advanced to "I'm not racist, but [racism]" and complaining about adverts, whereas anti-Traveller sentiment still seems the same as it was forever. I wonder if that's down to media representation or movements in the US or something else. Guavanaut fucked around with this message at 13:32 on Dec 8, 2020 |

So you can gently caress about scanning and bagging things while other people are trying to get stuff from the shelves you're stood in front of?

I did that in Co-Op and hated it. I'm conditioned to feel like a criminal if I can't physically show a person/machine that I haven't got anything in my bag that I haven't paid it. It's also all done via an app so you end up standing in the middle of the aisle going through the payment instead of going to a designated checkout which is awkward as hell.

I remember being promised that all groceries were going to have RFID chips embedded in the packaging so we could walk directly out of the store and have our shopping automagically scanned and charged. Whatever happened to that?  crispix posted:i say we go one step further and consume the products in the stores

Being repeatedly held up by vague, unfocused people faffing around helplessly in whatever bit of the shop you need to be in is central to the supermarket experience. They're the retail equivalent of those country roads where there's always someone doing 20 under the limit in front of you and touching their brakes every time they see a car on the other side of the road and there's no safe spot to overtake them.

Whatever happened to that? Just cost sadly, it's not economic to do tagging below the pallet level. The single digit margin on most food can't absorb the price of RFID tags.
