Coke machines that take credit cards

Posted on November 25th, 2007 in Personal, whatever |

What the hell is the world coming too. I found this in my local grocery store tonight. $1.50 + credit card interest is totally worth the convenience of not having to handle a dollar bill.

Update -
Found the company’s product docs. “Bright, flashing blue LEDs to attract customers.”

You just *know* there's going to be a $2.50 "processing fee" as well...

Credit card interest? In Israel, I've noticed that since recently, I'm able to pay any sum with a credit card -- at least in the large chains, they no longer have a minimum. And it entails no "processing fees".

Is the $1.50 the same price as you'd pay with cash? If so, I think it's great. I hardly ever have cash, and since I pull my New Balance every month, I never pay interest.

"interest" ?

Who the hell still pays that? I mean, if you for some reason decide not to use a MasterCard/Visa capable debit card and if you leave the $1.50 charge on your card for several months, then maybe you'd have to pay interest or processing fees... you'd have to be pretty dumb to let that happen, though. :)

Of course there are flashing lights to attract customers. Basic common sense - small rows of blinking LEDs that make weird wave-patterns and stuff draw the eye. You'd be a liar if you claimed blinking LEDs didn't draw your attention. ;)

Well the coke is bad for you anyway and them credit cards will only get you in trouble if you do not pay them off every month... You let them grow and then you have interest on top of the large balance...
But who wants to hear my advice right!!!

I have tried to call you so may times and for the past year and a half now all I get is your voice mail, then you mail is full and can not take any more mesages??? How do you get any mesages if you leave your box full all the time or do you not care to get mesages??? I do not know were you live I have tried to send cards and letters and the they come back.. Well the last time I talked to you we were going to try and plan a vacation togather and you were going to try and make it up for christmas, and I think that was about two years ago!! Whats up Zac?? Could you at lease write me and tell me your fillings or something!!! Could you please give me something I know you do not think I was not the Ideal father but you know that is a tough job, and I did what I could at the time with all the different situations, the relationships and times we had togather.. You can not think you were the easyest kid to deal with ether?? You fought me On Everthing!!!
You are an adult know things do not have to be this way I would really like to hear from you!!
