Can I Get That On Credit?
This new gadget appeared on our snack machine at work over the weekend:
Sure, go ahead and charge that 75¢ bag of Doritos to my credit card. Yeah, this doesn’t look sketchy at all.
I wonder what the fees are to use this thing? This system doesn’t even require proof that the credit card you’re using belongs to you. There’s no keypad. No signature required. Nice.
This is a sign of the times I guess. In a world of instant gratification, devices like these cater to those with less will power than smarts. It takes advantage of those who can’t control their dire urge for a Snickers bar yet don’t have two quarters to rub together.
Hey, if you really need those yogurt covered pretzels so bad, I’ll loan you the change to get ‘em…and I won’t charge you an added fee.
Yup, it gives one to think, if such machines accept credit cards without proof of whom it belongs to. Terrible thing really
I cannot believe there’s no KEYPAD to enter your pin number or place for your signature?!?!
Yeah, I bet the fee is about $1.50. So that’s $2.25 for a bag of Doritos!
Yikes!
