echinopsis posted:a 2 bedroom with no land that a couple are paying 380 a week for why do people in the uk and all the lovely uk former colonies (aus, nz) price rents per week instead of per month, i never get that is it like saying something costs 3.99 instead of 4 dollars because psychologically it sounds smaller?

people used to be paid more regularly in uk & still can be if they do low paid work so it makes sense to split it up

remember when fedex/kinkos used chip cards to store paid copier credit without any sort of verification so if you had the right equipment you could just manually change the stored value from, like, 15¢ to hundreds of dollars

also by collect you mean, getting an automatic payment set up so that the banks handle the transaction from the poor deprived renter into living in the lap of luxury echi the land barons account

Lutha Mahtin posted:target tried this in a pilot project and it was poo poo. i dont work for target, i know this bc it was the target by my house that had it. there was a screen that flashed "register #N open now" for the next person in the queue but then idiot Jimbob McSanchez would start walking forward and see some other register open up and hey ill just take this one instead. stuff like that. so you're waiting and you don't know if you're supposed to go, or like which register is open because theres people blocking your view of the 2 checkouts way down there that might be open, &c They do this at the Whole Foods in NYC and it works pretty well despite there being the running joke/urban legend that the blue lane is always the fastest/slowest.

I'd rather just pay once and be done with it for a month, budgeted, out of sight out of mind. i dont want to have to think about it constantly myself
