Bastards used to charge me $5 a pop just to talk to a teller, too.

No other way to transact when pulling parts at a salvage yard. You hand 'em plastic, you might wind up locked in the trunk of a Ford Elite

Rysithusiku posted:Cash is really common still in cities with casinos/largeish gambling establishments. Cause they'll gladly cash your paycheck with no fees, assuming you'll drop at least a couple bucks at a machine or whatever. It's a little how like a change machine only accepts pristine bills, but a lottery machine will happily take the most crumpled, stained dollar in your wallet.

Lots of people get tips, if the person is cool, they give you cash so you don't have to report that poo poo and you don't put it in your bank unless you need to cause then it's technically reportable.

I realise now how I was supposed to tip the staff years ago when I was drinking at an airport bar in the USA, paying by card like a dumb Australian, and getting dirty looks from the staff: not use card. And I didn't have the brains to say "how do I tip you, help"

In fairness, tipping in the US can be weird. Had an actual discussion with wife and BiL about whether we tip the dude who drove us around the Oregon dunes in a sandrail. (Yes, we tipped Buddy in the end.)

There was a viral tweet earlier this week that I can’t find right now that went to the effect “If I go somewhere and they have an iPad at the register I know I’m gonna be asked to tip for something I never had to before.”

Well, no, I mean I didn't tip, because I didn't know how to. Each beer, they just offered me the card machine with the cost of my beer entered in and I beeped my card on it, and they handed me a receipt with a space on it saying tip: ________. And I was, internally, "but I need to tip you, right? Where do I do that?" but was too confused/embarassed/progressively intoxicated to ask. I still don't know how to tip using a card. I get handing over some cash that's more than the purchase price where the rest is the tip, but I don't think I even had any local currency on me at that point.

You don’t have to tip just because society says you have to. Only tip when someone really puts in the effort.

Hyperlynx posted:Well, no, I mean I didn't tip, because I didn't know how to. For future reference, write the amount of the tip on that blank line and sign the receipt, leaving it for them. There’s usually also a line for you to write the total. Your card will be charged the total plus tip. A temporary charge of the total before tip may show up initially, but it will eventually be corrected to the full amount.

I did wonder why there was that space on the receipt, since (I thought) the transaction was already done. Thanks, now I know for if I'm ever in that neck of the woods again.

Speaking of payment by card, what's with American restaurant servers fuckin walking off with my credit card?? Do you guys not have The Machine to bring over to the table?? Give it back e: and yeah why is it even possible to change what I get charged based on what I write on paper. They could pretend I wrote $1 000 on there

Give it back the USA is best understood as an international project to undermine the rights of mankind, and specifically the mistreatment our people undergo is a kind of proverbial canary in that coal mine. what's happening here is merely a "test audience" for global export

Give it back Us dumb Americans think restaurants are supposed to be fancy and old-fashioned, and bringing over a little plastic box with glowy lights on it really ruins the mood. But the real reason is that doing the transaction away from the table helps the customer forget about/ignore the part of the meal where they are paying money, and thus it's good for business. And fraud doesn't really happen - it's too easy to catch. I've only seen The Machine once, when I was on a layover in the London Heathrow airport. It was a bit of a weird culture shock moment, but I think I'd prefer if The Machine came into common usage here in the States. Unrelatedly, do not under any circumstances get a hamburger at the Jamie Oliver restaurant in Heathrow. Worst fuckin burger I've ever had.

Some chain restaurants let you pay on a little card scanner on the table, some of them even let you order Apps/Drinks without having to flag your server down.

^ hey what they said efb: Some places here are just placing The Machine at the table, you can play video games on it, request drinks and pay at the table and gently caress off into the night without saying goodbye to the kid working their fingers to the bone for like a buck twenty five an hour if tips cover the rest to reach the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour i've only seen them in larger chains in larger cities though, for example an Outback steakhouse in Silicon Valley

These days, in these aftertimes, at pubs and restaurants you usually scan a qr code on the table to get taken to a MrYum hosted website where you order your food/drinks. You enter your card details into the site, which it remembers, and charges when you order. And there's an option for tip which <REDACTED TO AVOID FURTHER DERAIL>. I must say, table service everywhere is rather nice, and I could certainly get used to it
