Finally paid off my Costco hotdog 🙏

Pay in 4 is usually zero interest, but they'll stack heavy late fees if you miss it.
"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"

Time to buy another one!
Hey! Whoa! Easy there big spender! Some of us are caked in debt here! We can't just be buying hot dogs now all willy-nilly!

Ha ha! Phallic penis joke!

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.

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

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.

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.
