/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I didn't know they noticed this.

You weren't supposed to see that.

>2017
>paying with cash

>>9602345
Were they buying alcohol?

>have to go out to buy food

>>9602345
i do this on purpose sometimes to give you confidence boost for being a lowly, braindead wageslave. i always chuckle to myself thinking about that high that you'll get, born out of my own will

i literally control you

>>9602383
>paying with botnet

>>9602420
Ooooo botnet boogie man. The big bad Jews who control your life totally care about the McFat meal you ordered.

I hope you don't do this.

>such a simpleton he thinks its a matter of spying or not spying on what you buy

whats it like being able to relax and not think? Id really prefer being like that sometimes.
when we have a cashless society and its illegal to not turn in all your paper money and metals, you still wont care, will you? Im actually jealous.

You known those payment gateways are always clear that they're profiting from user data

>>paying with cash

Had a customer with parkinsons, he pretty much spilled coins all over the counter

>>9602540
>Worried about his activity being tracked
>Thinks paying cash will prevent this in any way

Unless you're growing every thing you eat, you have no reason to be this much of a paranoid schizo.

>credit card fails to go through

>>9602549
True.

What about the exorbitant fees levied on businesses by credit card companies? (Which is actually the only thing that pushes me to use cash, that and cash discounts or cash-only establishments)

>>9602578
>1.6% + $0.10
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW how am I supposed to make a profit now?

>trying to pay for something when the power goes out

>>9602345
I'm so glad they're replacing cashiers with robots because of this
The robot won't judge me
Fuck you

>>9602578
>using a credit card
>not just using debit

>>9602587
That's actually a pretty large amount if you're working in a sector with a lot of competition Anon, not all businesses are monopolies. What kind of margins do you think restaurants run on when you take into account theft by employees and other expenses?

>>9602637
Not him but I own a business and I can accept that 1%, however Uber Eats charges a fucking THIRTY (30%) percent cut off the full price of the order. That shit is theft, I don't understand why other stores sign up to this shit unless they are literally going out of business.

>>9602456

thinking isn't what you're doing that makes you unable to adapt

>>9602578

you don't want to use cash because you don't want to admit that being current with society is the only way you can actually succeed, but you feel unable to do that in other more difficult ways, so you attempt to maintain a consistency by not conforming in trivial ways such as not paying with a card.

>>9602665

it's not the stores problem. it's the customers problem. it's just another order to the store.

>>9602345
I do it for these reasons:
>weekend was ruff
>I haven't eaten all day (I often eat in the evenings only)

>>9602625
Actually, we program them to judge you.
It's when the scale fucks up.

>>9602631
>Debit.
>Not using a check.
>Not waiting until the transaction is done before digging in your fanny pack for your book.

>>9602540
>oh no NSA jews now know that I have poor diet
if u buy something special you ofc pay with cash but otherwise no

>>9602442
>>thin pale Anon with dark circles and wide eyes quickly makes his way towards you
>>his hands shake as he hands you the cash because he's manic and hallucinating
this is definately me but im fat and usually only hallucinate on my mind so i dont see shit but think shit

>>9602665
don't they just put it over the store price, for store it's just another customer

>>9602384
this lel

>When I see the look on your face when I tell you that the store will not give you instant credit on the store credit card you are signing up for because you want that fridge for 'Mah crib'

>>9602682
>>9602698
No it's not. They charge the STORE the 30% AND the customer $5.

>>9602631
they charge the same fees, dipshit

>no paywave

>>9602442
>DTs

Someone going through DTs isn't able to go to a store and buy more alcohol. At that point, they need to be in the ICU.

>customer asks for steak well done

>>9602441
If you have nothing to hide you'll be comfortable with NSA surveillance cameras in your home right comrade? Or do you have something to hide?

>>9603142
If the NSA wants to watch me jack off on my couch and I get free security cameras sign me up.

>>9603057
yeah but dt's and being shaky aren't the same thing
i've been so shaky i could barely pick up, carry and pay for beer
made an ass of myself
but dt's are a HNL

>complete aspie avoiding eye contact and fail to make small talk when working behind a register
>courteous and confident normalfag whenever I'm paying for something at a register

>>9602456
That wouldn't happen. Whenever we phase out currencies we just collect them out of circulation over time. Forcing people to hand stuff over doesn't work because most of people will just go "fuck that im gonna stay home."

>CHIP MALFUNCTION

>>9602398
Tick tock, roaches.

>>9602691
aka there's literally nothing wrong with you and you want to feel special.

>>9602685

>>9602540
>>likes NSA scum writing fanfics about your dragon dildos.
I would unironically appear on film using a dragon dildo if i were more attractive and could hide my face in an attractive way (like a fursuit head, or at least a particularly lavish and well secured paper bag)

>>9602345
It's g-g-g-genetic...

>>9602398
Keked out loud having a /sip/ in my kitchen before work, thanks mate

The cashier girls at my local supermarket are so fine.

I suck ass at small talk.

>PLEASE WAIT ASSISTANCE IS ON THE WAY

>>9602345
I'm an alcoholic

>at Subway because I forgot to bring lunch to uni

>store removed the entire self checkout section because of too many thefts
t-thanks

>>9606684
did you consider removing the tomato?

>>9606743
I'll be honest, this Subway thing happened a month ago and your post is the first time I ever thought of doing that

>>9606691
kek I'm waiting for the kroger by me to do this. Literally everyone I know that shops there steals shit with those things.

Sometimes I think shit posting on /ck/ 14 hours a day is making my autism worse.

>>9606684
>at subway because I hate myself
>first question is "do you want it toasted?"
>nope
>after sandwich is finished he puts it on the toaster thing and walks toward the oven anyway

Never again.

>>9606813
>eat the now cold sub
so u did get it toasted?

>>9606827
No it was a meatball marinara sub.

Nice. I wish the NSA was that cool.

>>9602345
Okay.

I laughed.

>tfw actually ok at smalltalk

Wtf. When did I become like this

>subtly make fun of people eating alone by asking them when the other person is gonna show up, putting two glasses at the table, drawing smiley faces on the plate with ketchup, etc.

75% of my enjoyment of that job is making fun of people eating alone with everyone in the kitchen. Once we made a heart-shaped pancake for a guy eating alone on Valentine's day, it was fucking great.

>>9607083
Yeah yeah. take the bait to /r9k/ you beta.

>my dad owns a shop with an open kitchen
>gives black customers less rice
>gives asian customers more rice
>gives white people more sauce
>manlets and women get less food

I KEEP fucking telling him that this isn't legal but he says that his method of judging people is consistent and that he hates food waste. Wish I was joking.

I feel you, we've all been there.

Yes it is.

>cashier -"calm down, son."

I hope all you non-cash faggots already have good health insurance and don't buy too much alcohol.
Because if I got your data even I could write a risk assessment algorithm. And insurance are probably doing much more already.

You can easily judge things like calorie intake or cleanliness.

>>9606684
That's what you get for mumbling, sweetie

>>9607301
Nice

>>9603234
Yeah, that's the point I was making. I've also been shaking really badly while buying beer or vodka, it's awful.

>>9602345

>>9607157
Your dad is doing the right thing. And the customers are almost certainly happy he does.

>>9602345
I have hand tremors. I can't not do it.

I hope you don't do this.

>telling my family I work in a warehouse and then driving around aimlessly for 8 hours, then coming home and making up a story about how a black person robbed me and they took my entire paycheck

>Hi! How are you doing?
mumble hi back, hearts pounding, quickly hand over items
>Do you have a membership card?
mumble no abruptly
>well that will be $15, would you like a receipt?
mumble no, quickly grab the cash that I prepared from my pockets as if I hadn't spent 3 minutes getting it all ready and dump it on the counter, whisper thankssss and then storm off as quickly as I can
I am dysfunctional.

>>9606831
IIRC, toasting sandwiches such as the meatball and teriyaki was compulsory. Even if it is to-go.

>>9610541
>>9610576
Basically me.

I intentionally pace my grocery visits to a week and a half or so just to avoid having to talk to strangers.
