the amount of consumer goodwill that statement bought easily pays for any losses from the hotdogs. companies seem hellbent on torching their brand reputation for short-term gains these days.
No interest?
Pay in 4 is usually zero interest, but theyâll stack heavy late fees if you miss it.
âwhy canât we get a mortgage?â
âWell I bought a hot dog on a payment plan for a laugh, and I defaulted on a 38 cent paymentâ
âoh noâ
I have plenty of interest in hot dogs.
Ha ha! Phallic penis joke!
They generally donât no.
They get commission from the stores (because quite likely they wouldnât have made the sale if the option wasnât available), and also late fees
My bank finally approved us for a hotdog jumboloan! We sign tomorrow!
Thatâs how you build up good credit
How does it handle the half-penny? Does it round up or down, collect the remainder at the end, what?
The POS system at my bakery rounds up when itâs for a customer (getting half of a loaf of bread for example) and down when it calculates the 50% employee discount. That alone has a weirdly huge impact on my job satisfaction.
typical POS behavior
Off topic, but I will forever read it as âpiece of shitâ system lol
good job! a+ financial discipline!
Proud of you!
Time to buy another one!
Hey! Whoa! Easy there big spender! Some of us are caked in debt here! We canât just be buying hot dogs now all willy-nilly!
You are truly a legend to dedicate to the bit.
This is the beginning of the rest pf your life!
