I saw that at Five Guys in Paris and it seemed to be pretty clearly made to limit free refills i don't buy that it's simply limiting free refills, because the cost of sale on soda is pennies, and a good portion of that is the paper goods that you just spent r&d and supply chain money on if it's not a push to increase table turnover, they must be trying to manipulate some other customer behavior i can't fathom because there is no way excess refills are making a noticeable dent on their costs

What about all the places that don't offer self-service drink fountains?

A single use disposable cup full of plastics definitely needs a tracking device that probably has some rare earth metals or whatever in it. Let's keep speed running this Hot Earth game.

When in doubt, it's a safe guess that some company is tracking how you shop. If you know somebody who has one of those machines at their business, they likely know how to pull up the stats screen too. It's not a big secret that they're tracking what you're buying/drinking.

Assuming you're using an electronic payment method? Otherwise they only know that 'cash' mixed half fanta half coke and from this they may infer they're a weird German.

InfiniteZero posted:It is. Those machines track what kind of drinks people are buying and if they're making specific mixes (etc.). right, but I've never seen one that knows who is drinking what Like, do people who drink X get more refills, or do people who pour Y immediately pour it out because it's gross and get Z instead that sort of thing it could in theory even be linked to your food order, which is even more insidious if you are using a rewards app

Aren't long fingernails a class thing? Saying "I do nothing for myself" or just "I perform no labour" at its simplest.

I always get involuntary visualizations of people who have long nails getting them caught behind something and then bending backwards to the point of snapping off completely all the way down to the root. This makes me greatly dislike long nails. That's my story, thanks for listening.

Orange Devil posted:I always get involuntary visualizations of people who have long nails getting them caught behind something and then bending backwards to the point of snapping off completely all the way down to the root. This makes me greatly dislike long nails. I have pretty long nails, because they grow fast and they're pretty strong so I just let them. I get them caught on poo poo all the time and there is a feeling you get when it bends backwards that is hard to describe. Usually it doesn't break, but if it does, it's usually not far from where the nail separates from the nailbed. I have had a couple that have cracked further down and you pretty much just have to wait for it to grow out if you don't want to rip it off. You can patch it with nail glue to keep it from bending further and potentially making the crack bigger.

In the past they were a pretty clear status symbol, in some cultures for both men and women. Nowadays, much like tanning vs. paleness, it's more regional and subcultural as a marker of status. The actual fashion itself is still a pretty honest signal of not needing to use one's hands for "hard" labor.
