What’s funny is that so many people want to pretend that the economy was hunky-dory before Trump’s tariffs.
An economy wherein you’re financing your takeout is GROSSLY unsound.
Exactly.
Ok so it’s not a sandwich can hurt your credit score it’s door dash d head pay later that can hurt your credit score
Idiots
I sell baked goods at a local farmers’ market. I can’t hardly believe it when people ask me if I take cards for a $6.00 box of cookies. The answer is “no”. They want to buy everything on the table? Then we can discuss that option. It is good to know though that not only am I saving myself and them fees but I could be keeping their credit scores from tanking.
I wonder how many people put an $8.00 cup of burned coffee (looking at you Starbucks) on their credit card only to carry the balance over each month with interest.
People are idiots.
Its bad news for small biz, too.
AmEx’s transaction fees are even more extortionate.
If you love your small businesses, use cash.
Use search engines, use AI, use whatever. You can't find it. And why would you want to look at this gross image? Every once in awhile it is appropriaate for a Hillary thread.
BTW, I went to your homepage as I believe you have the number of years we have left before globalwarming kills us all, right?
I considered applying for a store brand credit card, because they offered a $100 credit immediately. I was purchasing a washing machine.
But the application required I install an app on my phone, which I wasn’t willing to do. Reading the terms and conditions, the interest rate was 31%! No wonder they were willing to give a $100 credit to bring in people who don’t read the terms and conditions.
I use none of the services, including DoorDash, mentioned in the article.
predatory? Sheesh ... Sane people can just say no ...
Why buy a ssmmich when you can tell the woman to just make you one?
How much will that sandwich end up costing in the end?
What’s the interest on it? 25%?
I see a whole new world of hurt for those who fall for this...
As a child of the 1950s where the only credit available was at a local mom and pop store where they knew the customers and knew when payday was.
Our credit was called lay away. You pick an item and the store keeps it until you pay it off (generally Christmas gifts).
I did not get my first credit card until I was around 25.
I was shocked the first time I saw someone pay for their groceries with a credit card (this was early 1970s).
I am no longer shocked when I see people use a credit card at a fast food place knowing (statistically ) they will not be paying off their credit card each month and that the $10 meal may very easily end up costing them $15 or $20 over time.
I use credit cards for just about everything. All my utilities are on auto pay. But I pay each card off in full every month.
It makes sense to put it on the card if you get cash back and you can pay it off immediately.
Just wait until insurance companies access the purchases and determine your health risk because of the food you buy, even if it’s not for you.
