Ok she’s coming back I gotta go. Love you lots!! Be kind to yourself!!!!!
@forever@fedi.nullob.si genuine q, what’s the game dev scene like? Mastodon is very big and confusing and I have a tiny smooth lil brain. It’s like a marble
@thatonecalculator@stop.voring.me I don’t miss my keys. I keep em in a bowl :)
Evie loses everything tho, I always have to find stuff for her. She’d lose her glasses when they’re on her face ;P dork
@forever@fedi.nullob.si hmmmmm.. touché
@forever@fedi.nullob.si dear internet stranger who evie probably knows idk:
NO >:(((
(She’s trying to make me get a mastodon ;-;)
I have a really really awesome and hot girlfriend who’s super cute and deserves lots of love and attention
also I’m really smart and very hot and deserve lots of love and praise and I want to talk to people but I get anxious and claim I’m being “mysterious” when I’m really just being antisocial. Please start a conversation with me if you’d like!!
(I love you, Evie. Bet you regret making me try Mastodon on your phone now, huh ;P)
yeah, new high score! I’m rocking it today 😧
(Oh dear)
@DaveHowe Agree with #1, but for #2 I don’t think I’ve carried cash for a decade, most of the vending machines here are card payment by default, but if you only have cash, then they are exact change. Same for buses. Some stores here have even stopped taking cash all together, cash is on the way out…
My local supermarket also have coinless trollies now, too… (not that I use them, I don’t own a car so can’t buy that much bulk shopping)
@derwinmcgeary I’ve heard this is an EU law! Although most switched from card fees to minimum card spend amounts, when they really should raise prices. They’re there for convenience, not budget bulk buying.
@noiob I’d pay double for the drink just so I don’t miss my expensive as heck train. Convenience doesn’t mean buying bulk £5 worth of stuff, it means buying a couple items but at a more expensive price than a supermarket! The people interested in convenience aren’t interested in saving 30p on a drink, they don’t want to miss their £115 train ticket which departs in 4 minutes…
@DaveHowe The target audience though, I’m in a rush to the train station and thirsty!
This isn’t a supermarket where people are trying to compare prices and save money, it’s a tiny convenience store on the walk towards a train station. I’d prefer to spend an extra £1 per item, so I don’t miss my train, have to buy another train ticket and seriously ruin my morning.
I don’t have a way to carry a week’s shopping. I don’t see why they’re getting angry at their customers for that?
I think it’s frustrating because these business owners start getting upset when people just try to buy a couple items, when they’re literally your core target audience.
If people are going to spend more than £5, they might as well do a full week/month’s shop at a supermarket instead and bring a bike/car to carry it all.
I am baffled by how many convenience stores still have a £5 minimum card charge.
You’re a convenience store… and I just want a single small drink (maybe a chocolate bar too) so I don’t dehydrate, but you’re telling me I now need to buy and carry multiple litres around all day, just to use your store? Sounds… pretty uh… inconvenient, no?
I think I’ll just go to Tesco, instead.
Live dangerously, close your eyes, hope
@forever@fedi.nullob.si big fish
