Do it enough times, you'll get treated to an exclusive hotel with free food and lodging! If you like ramen, they even have an exclusive flavour!

If the £ wasn't indication enough, this ain't in the US.

cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 275d (3 replies)

Oh, I know about GBP. But the ass backwards US has had tap to pay for a couple weeks now, maybe longer. I know they lag behind other parts of the world, and some retailers still don't support it, but it is relevant in freedom-land, too. /s

US tap to pay sucks compared to most of the world though.

Take a guess?

Plot twist, it's all of them.

Its not like he's stealing their money, those cards are probably stolen too.

otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 5 pts · 274d

Ah, yes, the ol' "stolen goods but I didn't steal 'em" defense. Ironclad classic.

Jokes on you (I know, it's satire) I keep spent gift cards for the express purpose of carding doors when I have to. No chip, and even if you had a mag reader there's $1.36 left on the card, have fun.

Thanks, now I'm up -44.49£ 😎 (assuming 50% card to cash conversion & 1.33 USD : 1 GBP)

ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 5 pts · 274d (3 replies)

Have fun! If you can't convert it to cash you might be able to get like 1/5th of a coffee!

It's that like a Wish Sandwich?

ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 274d (1 reply)

They sell sandwiches on wish now? I wouldn't trust it, probably rotten by the time it goes through customs, and full of lead to boot.

otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 274d

Yeah, far safer to stick with a Temu burritu or two. 🤌🏼

Do you really think homeless methheads have bank cards?

Hupf@feddit.org · 2 pts · 274d

Not their own, of course.

When I was a kid, I fell into a river and a fish bumped me out of the water. I was supposed to die. But a fish bumped me out with its nose. That was the earth telling me I'm supposed to do something great.
