LOOOOOOOOOL nice one^^ but 10 penny for hot water? just give it for free
Some countries actually charge money for water you know…
I’ve lived in Arizona for so long, that the idea of paying for a glass of water is stupid. Water here is free, and it is illegal (for business’) NOT to give water to anyone that asks for it.
Gotta pay for the cup. And the hot.
And this would be why I would use a credit card. Screw the shop, make them pay the CC transaction fee if they charge you for freaking water.
werd
This!
Yup.
This happened to me too, but in this case I was the customer. I had to pay five cents for a tiny screw, but I didn’t have any change. So maybe the customer in this comic didn’t have any change either.
Egh, who drinks hot water?
The customer in question might have had their own tea bags with them. When I worked at a cafe, sometimes customers would come in wanting to make their own tea, so they would just ask me for a small cup of hot water. We’d give it to them for free, though.
I’ve got some teabags for them
Why would the worker care. It isn’t like credit cards are that hard to work with.
That’s what you get for charging for water.
seriously, who does that?
He probably has to charge for the cup.
OR some countries actually charge money for it sense they don’t have a lot of water.
ITS NOT THAT HARD TO FIGURE OUT.
What the hell kind of country has a water shortage and has internet access?
America?
Uganda?
Saudi Arabia?
Israel :C
Who cares? Its a rage comic, what difference does it make?
May I point out that America is in fact not a country?
Try harder next time.
Bank I work for charges ten cents for a cup of ice (like James says, they’re really charging for the cup), though we have Polar water, and an instant hot water dispenser, for free.
Dunkin Donuts =(((((
charging for water? Thats Racist!
Hey, it’s HOT water!
Happened to me at my job once. Some dude looked through his wallet full of cash to grab a credit card to pay for a 25 cent cup of nacho cheese.
usually is more expensive
Heh, I did smoething like this once. Bought a 17p bottle of water at the supermarket and realized I hadn’t brought any cash.
It’s really predictable when the “derp” face is used for someone doing a dumb thing. You know someone’s about to do something stupid (or is already doing something stupid) when the “derp” face is used.
The reason why the cashier/clerk/etc didn’t want to take the card, is simple:
A card takes 10x longer than cash to process.
I would know this, being a cashier myself. I can complete a cash transaction in less than 20 seconds, even faster if it is a single bill being given, or exact change.
A credit card, though…
You have to swipe it.
You have to punch in the amount.
You have to hit enter.
It has to connect to a server (5-10 seconds alone)
It has to print a receipt.
And THEN you’re done, a good 45-60 seconds later, at least.
Some stores like Wal*Mart have those card machines that customers can swipe their own cards, but MANY stores/bars/etc do not.
Cash is almost always faster and easier, especially for a small transaction. I get annoyed too, when people somehow trip over themselves and forget their wallet (how did they DRIVE to the store without their drivers’ license!? good thing they didn’t get pulled over!) and want to use a credit card for a single, cheap item.
Thankfully, we have a $5 minimum purchase rule, and ooo boy do people complain when they can’t use their credit card to buy a newspaper, book of matches, a single pack of .35 gum, etc.
THIS^ I work at a cafe, and we do indeed have to charge for the cup. The dude wanted the cup of hot water for tea. There was a penny jar OVERFLOWING with pennies right next to him. And, the way it actually went down, is that I drug the penny jar over and counted out the pennies out before giving him his cup. Petty? Maybe.
At the fast food joints (at least here in america) they dont ask you to sign anything or put in your pin they just swipe it and hand you your receipt. so its not only more convenient its also faster and i dont have to carry cash.
It’s against Visa/MC/Discover regulations to have a $5 minimum and your store could be charged a $500 fine for attempting to enforce one. I didn’t think stores still tried to do that, weird!
COmpletely untrue. In many places, any transaction under $25 doesn’t require a signature or a PIN. It’s literally, Swipe the card and hand it back.
Stop lying…
Some people don’t carry cash because they don’t want to get R O B B E D of it
There are other things that you carry on your person that are worse than cash to get stolen.
SS card, Photo ID, credit cards, etc.
Especially if you get pickpocketed, then you don’t KNOW it is stolen until the robber has had a chance to use your cards, or if the theft happens sometime the banks are closed and you can’t call them.
Carrying around $20 isn’t that big of a loss if you get robbed. Heck, sometimes NOT having any cash might anger a robber into killing you instead. *shrugs*
You need a big sign saying NO CARDS FOR UNDER 5$ PURCHASES
Not allowed as per the merchant contract.
Oh dang, I said something similar above ^^
never has last panel cute success face been more appropiate
Don’t most places have a thing where you can’t use a card for purchases under a certain amount?
I don’t consider that a bad thing! I almost never have coins on me and I only carry a $20 in case I need it (who wants to use a $20 for a 10 cent purchase). So using my credit card would be the only option.
plus it makes it easier for the cashier because they don’t have to make change.
It may be easier for you, but don’t delude yourself into thinking that cashiers prefer cards. Cards take a lot longer.
Another lie. Most transactions under $25 don’t require a signature or a PIN. It’s literally swipe and go.
Stop lying…
The face off made me lol
I almost never carry cash on me.
lol your country is poor.
It’s worse when someone buys a $1.05 drink with a hundred dollar bill. That always pisses me off because if I’m at the beginning of my shift, they clear out all of my change.
