    so like i said i treated my racist uncle to lunch today (as a thank you for all the times he's bought me dinner when i was mega broke)

    and afterwards i sign the CC slip and he's like, mystified at the idea that i can put a tip there and i don't have to give the card back to him for him to swipe a second time

    BUT HOW WILL HE GET THE TIP NOW THAT YOU TOOK YOUR CARD BACK

    it's ok, uncle mike

    i promise this is ok, my white trash buddy
    To be fair to racist uncle mike, I have always found this completely mystifying as well.

    How the fuck does that actually work?

    The store doesn't run your number until the end of the night, when it will have your tip to add to the information it has already taken from you.

    Or magic, if you prefer.
    This would also explain how some of my lunches end up out of order in my account statements, someones not doing their uploads on a daily basis even.

    The point of sale terminal doesn't put the transaction through until after you've signed.

    The same way that petrol pumps have you put your card in and do the authorisation, and then pump the fuel after you've taken it out again.

    yep, all they need is the card number, they can use it whenever they like

    you never used a self service petrol pump before? you put in all the payment details, take your card back, then use the pump

    I have the best deal, so I'll never get rid of HBO. $49 (including taxes) for Comcast's highest speed internet option + basic cable with HBO. I don't get HD service, but it doesn't matter, because I just watch everything on HBO GO.

    And I also use Hulu+/Netflix, and I'd rather pay for that than HD-DVR service.

    @Elki

    Who did you kill for this deal? I pay $73 a month just for internet, and not even the fastest tier.

    When I was shopping around, and saw it, I freaked out. I'm still convinced they'll hunt me down one day and put me in cable prison. It was hidden under "more bundles," and once you navigated to that page I think it was the very last one listed. The cable box they sent me for the installation is still sitting unplugged. I also don't get to have On-Demand, and I don't care one bit.

    Also, I'm actually paying $7 more than I should. My bill should be $42, but they're charging me for a modem lease even though I'm using my own modem. But I don't want to call them, because I'm afraid of changing anything about my bundle.

    Don't change shit, they will undo that situation so faaaaaassssst!

    That was fucking awesome.

    That would be good if I actually cooked at this point in my life. I don't cook now because I don't want to eat. Anything I spend time on cooking is going to be more calories than like, a protein shake with a banana in it.

    No! Everyone needs to cook!

    I am not just saying this so that if I ever visit any of you you'll be able to feed me delicious foods.

    I can make risotto. And I can grill a steak.

    Everything else is better handled by the wife.



    Not because she's a woman or anything, just so you know. She's a trained cook. She's better at it.

    I like cooking, but hate prep, so I don't much.

    Risotto is not for the impatient.

    Odd. I wonder if it works the same here?

    Because everytime they enter the value before you swipe.

    Same with the petrol pumps. You either pre-pay for a set amount, or fill up then pay.

    Never had a situation where they entered any payment after the card swipe part.
