Fine by me. I'm sure there are Christians who don't on either account, but their dogma dictates one, and the stats overwhelmingly dictate the other.

You're in the military.
Re: Fast Food Thread: Not just about assholes anymore
I'm an atheist that didn't vote for Trump. And I'm well aware of the military being overwhelmingly white, Christian, and mostly Trump supporting.

There are a few Chic-Fil-A locations in LA, including a couple in my old neighborhood.brian wrote: ↑Wed Apr 04, 2018 10:20 pmI think there’s some in Texas but that’s as Far East as it goes.

You can do whatever you want. My literal first posts in the Swamp were with Varitek pushing A-Rod in the face as my avatar and Hood* made a thread about an "unfortunate avatar for a new Swamper." Whether that meant anything or proved something to whoever else, I don't care.
Overtly Christian people are, more often than not, judgey schmucks wrapped up in their dogma. And I assume the worst of them.

So apparently if you are an inclusive silicon valley company CEO, it is bad to promote an anti-LGBT company during pride month.

Yeah, Chick-Fil-A has distanced itself enough from most of that mess that I don't judge anyone for eating there even if I choose to continue to boycott it myself.

Re: Fast Food Thread: Not just about assholes anymore
I have a good friend who is a perfect example of both of these, suggesting that "Mid-40s software development manager" is some sort of odd harmonic mean of "Mid-40s housewife" and "HR manager"... :)Johnny Carwash wrote: ↑Fri Mar 28, 2014 7:20 am 9. Makes an elaborate special request on their order. Rule of thumb: you're allowed one reasonable modification to a fast-food order. No onions on your hamburger—that's fine. Anything beyond that and you're being a schmuck.

Re: Fast Food Thread: Not just about assholes anymore
I think early on in this thread (or maybe another one?) there was a big back-and-forth over whether this was acceptable.

Same.

Re: Fast Food Thread: Not just about assholes anymore
The yes/no on a CC for a small amount is where you're doing it, not what the low threshold is. Local shop, its shitty. Chain, who cares.
Re: Fast Food Thread: Not just about assholes anymore
I would also throw in that personal experience has a role here too. I don't even go to the convenience store closest to my house any more because there isn't another one within two miles so the lines are always nuts, but there's always two or three assholes that get a cup of coffee or a tin of chew for $5 and pay with a credit card, which takes five times as long as paying with cash while 8 people are literally waiting behind them to pay. If you can't carry $5 on you to try and make other people's lives a little easier then don't go out in public. If it's a terminal (especially chain fast foot type places) where the non-cash transactions are just as fast, fine....whatever. If it's a terminal where you have to go through the whole kabuki of waiting for the receipts to print out and signing them just to get a candy bar then fuck right off.

Counterpoint - debit card in hand swipes quicker and transacts faster than your average employee can make change.

Re: Fast Food Thread: Not just about assholes anymore
They swipe faster but the merchant is netting less than they do with cash. (Possibly twice, if you know what I mean.)
Re: Fast Food Thread: Not just about assholes anymore
That's another good point. If it's a locally owned business, almost always best to pay cash wherever possible. Should also always try to tip Uber/Lyft drivers with cash as well so they're not taxed on it.

Re: Fast Food Thread: Not just about assholes anymore
If you have kids you never have cash? (Because they're asking for it?).
I'm legitimately confused/don't understand.

Re: Fast Food Thread: Not just about assholes anymore
I always carry 80+ cash wherever I go. Never know when a card reader in a pkg garage is going to be broken or when a 20 might get you a little perk or into somewhere you want to be. Also a lot easier to buy coffee and a doughnut.

Can't acquire any travel miles paying in cash. That $5 cup of coffee and a doughnut on my credit card everyday for a year adds up.brian wrote: ↑Thu Jun 21, 2018 9:41 amI would also throw in that personal experience has a role here too.

Then the merchant should have credit card minimum purchase requirements.
