What is wrong with straight people? Are they okay?

    Paying for things is feminine. You should punch the cashier and shout “this is mine!” like a real man.

    /s, obviously

    Instructions unclear, my penis is stuck in a card reader and I have a lifetime ban from Chipotle.

    When I was a cashier, there was definitely a subset of people - usually the same people wearing maga hats - who did refuse to use the tap. They believed it was insecure. I looked it up, it’s slightly more secure than the chip (if only because contactless systems are not yet susceptible to counterfeit card reader attachments).

    It was pretty annoying too, because I was frequently stationed at a register that had a broken chip reader. Some people would get frustrated very quickly and, like, start rage-jamming the card into the machine repeatedly. It’s kind of scary how many people go from 0-60 unhinged at checkout.

    After learning about the security aspect, and because of that broken reader, I made it a point to educate everyone I could about the tap. A lot of people aren’t even aware their card can do that stuff.

      I exercise ultimate security by just having no money. If anybody manages to open the Pandora’s Box that is my bank account, best of luck to them.

        I’ve set up a cognitohazard in my bank account. Anyone who looks into it is disassembled into their component parts and sold off to appease my rampaging bank fees.

      The tap on my card stopped working a few weeks after I got it, I hope nobody thinks I’m toxic because I have to swipe or insert.

        I just tap it every time and half the time it doesn’t work. Well I tap with my phone, then tap with card, then insert, then it tells me to swipe so I swipe.

    For true contactless payment I do neither. I just hover my card / handset near the reader.

    Is there something I should know about myself?

    Here’s exactly what my feed looks like. I’d say this is further evidence that the straights are not okay.

      What a bananas take.

      “I’m so horny at all times it feels like a goddamn fever dream, a literal full beard is the only thing that even slows me down. Everyone needs to cover themselves in one way or another, otherwise the urge to just dick them down on sight is too much, it’s unreasonable to expect me and other men to simply resist.”

    Real men take what they want and don’t apologize. If you’re not serving 25-life for multiple petty robberies that escalated to attempted murder for no discernible reason other than insecurity about your dick size then you’re not a real man.
