Kroger charges you for BLM.

[Mytwocents]

The store claims its a change shortage charge...why should we pay for their negligence for not having enough change?...maybe the store could round down the total so they don't have to give change back....call it a good will gesture...man they get you coming and going....

Agreed. .59 cents for a coin shortage fee? Thats pretty damn steep if you ask me! And look how it calculated it, with the customer's purchase of a gallon of milk. To come out at exactly $3 so Krogers didn't have to give coins back. So what, if the purchase was $1.09, then would the coin-shortage fee then be 0.91 cents? Forcing the customer to put that change on a "loyalty card" to spend in the future? Can they keep adding up all the change, put it on the "loyalty card" then redeem it for cash later? Some people need their change for things like the landrymat, toll boths, stuff like that. It's good to keep a little change around the house...

Coin shortage is merely a bullshit excuse to get y'all to accept going into a cashless society.

Yeah, that crossed my mind when I first heard of this. The excuses that I'm being told don't add up. People are like, "well, most people already use debit cards, so what's the point? What's the big deal?" Well, what if you are in a position, to where all of your monies are in the bank, and because of ________ reason, you can't access your funds? Didn't something like this happen to the Greeks not too long ago? Rents went WAY UP , evictions up, no access to bank accounts, even from ATM's. Thats some LEGITIMATE freaky shit right there, not some "conspiracy theory ".

Bankers and some of the oil gurus and their chosen f'k the world and went belly up already. They cannot maintain their lifestyle unless they figure another route to get money from the people. A friend and I discussed a bit of all this last night. They figure the only way to get control is if they can keep control of the money supply. You also have a lot of racketeers and their minions in our politics. Its all pretty mixed up and if they can keep confusion going they think they can get ahead of the bust curve they've been on since 2000.

True.
Autor Saul Alinsky, wrote a "playbook" which had "rules for radicals", explaining step-by-step instructions on how to turn a country into a Socialist (which I pretty much sum up to Communism) one:
1) Healthcare: if you control Healthcare, you control the people
2) Poverty: Increase the poverty level as high as possible. Poor people are easier to control & less likely to attack their source of survival.
3) Debt: Increase the debt to unsustainable levels. This will allow the Government to increase more taxes, increase the poverty level, and again, control the people.
4) Gun Control: Remove the ability for citizens to defend themselves against their Government, thus allowing for the creation of a police state.
5) Welfare: Take control of every aspect of their lives and survival; food, housing, Healthcare, income
6) Education: Control what people listen to, control what children are taught in school. Emphasize progressive ideals only.
7) Religion: Remove the People's belief in God from Government and schools. No ideology or authority can supersede the power of the state. (Similar to England /The Church, and isn't that one of the reasons people fled England in the 1st place? )
8)Class Warfare: Divide people into warring fractions. Wealthy vs. Poor (or, by race...which is what certain organizations are doing...)
But I'm sure I'm just jumping to conclusions and being paranoid. Seriously, that'll never happen here! .....right?

Supply shortages already in some areas and food shortages next up on the agenda. The masking everyone possible crap is merely a control module; and for those watching it is pretty plan to see its going down before our eyes. It has been for some time now but many jump onto the bandwagons without thinking through the long term. People are generally short sighted and they make good sheeple (it easily happens on both the right and the left).

On the other hand I can see some positives to some of the things currently in play depending on how people in general take it. A totally cashless society excluded...

Sooo......you go shopping in any large box store, and pay with your credit card. A prompt comes up asking if you'd like to donate to one of these organizations. Every choice is an identifiably Leftwing operation. 1. "American Express, which just donated $1 million to the NAACP Legal Defense...

Kroger, Smiths on the west coast doesn't give coin change. When you are due change it credits it to your card for use later.

So if you have change coming, they just take it?

Thank you for your thanks. It's what all us Assholes live for. To correct stupid people who don't even know they are stupid.

And you know you're not stupid? Is because you have a note from your Mom that says so?

I don't know about that but according to the United States Air Force, I wasn't stupid enough to be drafted. As for sane, after a very trumatic incident, I went though some serious treatment but I was issued a letter saying I was sane. It's on file with the VA as well. Do YOU have a government or medical issued letter saying that YOU aren't insane? That was part of paying for Freedom. And I got off light, others paid a different way. Your Freedom to make a damned fool of yourself is paid in full but don't make such a habit of it.

The United States Air Force has never had a draft.

No it didn't but the Army did. And I had a "Greetings from the President" hanging out the back pocket at the time I left for the Air Force.

Nice troll.

You lucky bastard. You actually received a letter from the President. All good tidings in it I would think. He probably thought we were all in this together.

 

[Picaro]

See some signs claiming a 'coin shortage', but I'm still getting my change. I kind of half-assed try to pay with exact change, but it depends on whether the service is adequate or not if my make the effort.

BRILLIANT!

Out smarting the Cashless Stores! Love it.
Okay Kroger/Walmart/ insert cashless store here, your no change policy is going to cost you in the long run. I use cash for all my purchases. And I plan on continuing to do so. I don't need you to be a bank and hold my money on a card so you can draw interest on my money. And I sure am not going to donate to a charity of your choosing so you can then get a tax write off by using other people's money.
My solution is to pay with cash up to the change IE: the Bill is $23.35 I will give you $23.00 in cash and pay the remainder with a debit or credit card. The 35 cents owed you will now cost you a small fee and I will continue to have my change in my possession and not yours.
If everyone did this, I bet your business would find those coins quickly after only one day of service charges from your card processor.

I appreciate the thought behind using the credit and debit cards, but that will just lead to minimum charge amounts; some stores already require minimum purchases, and the garage I take my car to charges extra for using credit cards, 10% on top of the bill.

I also only use cash most of the time, too. In fact, stores should be giving discounts to cash users, not punishing them, same as if one uses those electronic checkout registers.
