Or they could just remind people to not be dicks and run a card for $1.59. Austin ain't exactly a small town.

I dunno why paying with a credit or debit card has to take a long time.

Here we have something called paywave. Which is basically where you hold your card over the card swiper machine for about 1 second, and done.

Weird. It's everywhere here. Which is good because everywhere also accepts payments via an NFC device.

Obtuse.

Wallets are non ergonomic. I've got enough spinal issues without sitting on a lump.

Yeah, your wife wouldn't want you growing one.

Check writers.

Checks don't exist here anymore.

Never understood why using checks was so common in the US.

Gives a brief window of time for old people to converse with someone besides the TV screen while they fill it out.

I haven't carried a wallet in 10 years.

I don't have have a wallet either.

I have a case for my phone that holds my one card and my driver's licence. That's it.

it was always funny to see a queue exodus when an old lady at checkout would pull out a check book.

Ok. How do ya'll manage your money? I've been a mint user since forever, but I really just use it as a glorified accounting sheet that i check when something seems wrong, im not actively tracking anything with it.

Since i just raped my savings buying a van, i gotta figure out a better system.

I signed up for YNAB, but it seems like its more for people that are living paycheck to paycheck or have variable incomes. I think i can make it work for a more stable situation, but its very "manual"

I've used YNAB for YEARS. I think I've gotten so used to it that other stuff seems too lackadaisical to me.

I may be too much of a bourgeoisie to use it properly. I keep getting told that im not living paycheck to paycheck, its not for me

 

[Dharma1521]

I was in a gas station this past weekend with a tip jar. They were also charging for using a credit card, which I believe is against the credit card agreement.

Ahh... Bodunk towns.

Lol yeah, if someone gives me shit, I mention that.

You mean you don't use the Vermont money management system of just putting all lose change and cash into an old butter dish and moving it to a cool whip container when that fills up.
