Finally paid off my Costco hotdog 🙏
-
How does it handle the half-penny? Does it round up or down, collect the remainder at the end, pull an Office Space, what?
The POS system at my bakery rounds up when it’s for a customer (getting half of a loaf of bread for example) and down when it calculates the 50% employee discount. That alone has a weirdly huge impact on my job satisfaction.

Ha ha! Phallic penis joke!
Or it's about bestiality.
-
No interest?
They generally don't no.
They get commission from the stores (because quite likely they wouldn't have made the sale if the option wasn't available), and also late fees

Costco's co-founder, Jim Sinegal
wrote on last edited by [email protected]the amount of consumer goodwill that statement bought easily pays for any losses from the hotdogs. companies seem hellbent on torching their brand reputation for short-term gains these days. little gestures go a long way.

wait POS doesn't mean piece of shit??

"why can't we get a mortgage?"
"Well I bought a hot dog on a payment plan for a laugh, and I defaulted on a 38 cent payment"
"oh no"
Conversely, you can't have a house, you have no credit.
Fine I just paid off a 1.50 loan for a hot dog.
Ok, now you can borrow 500k because you proved yourself responsible with $1.50
Reality isn't too far off, back in the day I couldn't get a loan because I had zero credit history, but then could get a mortgage after a few months of getting a credit card with like a 500 dollar credit limit.

Back in the day, one could get a credit history by being listed as an authorized user on someone elses card. One never needed physical possession of the card, nor needed to use it.

Still possible with AmEx, if I'm not mistaken, and in some cases can backdate your AAoA.
