What cheeses me off

[RooFlyer]

Yeh nah - I cant work out whether the person means Yes or No leaving me very confused.

I take it to be a space filler - same function as 'Ummmmm .... '

"eh" at the end of every sentence - are you asking me my thoughts?

I take it as seeking approval or soliciting agreement with that the person just said and I hear it as 'ay?'. "Its a fine day, ay?"

To paraphrase what others have said, it means:
"I have considered it and 'yes' I do believe that I understand the entirety of what you are talking about or asking about, however, the response to the question is 'no' or if you made a statement then I don't necessarily agree with it".

only agree with this bit... for me it's 'Hey? '

Back in the 50s and 60s when we went to Northern QLD the locals ended their sentences with eh. Don’t think it meant anything.

 

[p--and--t]

Very noticeable moving from down south to Brisbane was the prevalence of yeah-nah and ending sentences with aye or mate.

I was told to pack my port when in kindergarten in Sydney in 1951. Neither of my parents had ever been to QLD. A lot of my friends also took ports to school.

It happened to me in Newcastle in 1970- we had moved from Sydney - and on Day 1 at my new school the teacher asked me where my port was and I had no idea what she was talking about . Born and bred in Sydney and I’d never heard the term before.

YOOZ is a ‘ pacific’ example of what cheeses me off

Heres another - ‘ I went out for lunch..but…had a great chicken parma … but..’

Is ‘but’ meant to enhance the quality of the conversation or signify the end of the sentence like a mid century telegram ie ‘stop’

And like!
Like, I went out for lunch, and had like a great chicken parma….

I've 'liked' that

Equally, you cannot tell other people how to accept payment for their goods and services. That's only their business.
using cards for payments is the end of the process. This started when ALL our bank accounts became 1s and 0s in a computer, without a physical record.

That thing doing the rounds is illogical. Any business that is going to survive will mark up their price to include the payment fee or add a card surcharge. It also completely ignores the cost of accepting cash, which includes bank fees, or risk of theft and staff time.

It's not illogical. Banks have created the biggest con in history.

But lets get back to my point.

Cash has to remain an option. Cash must remain an option.

If a business chooses not to accept cash, I can go elsewhere.

If a business only sells online I can choose to purchase only from physical stores.

The choice is mine, not forced on me.

In short it works

Cash can be a PITA

We decided a long time ago that we would not have a CC fee to encourage payment by electronic means - CC, BPAY. But people still try to pay by cash even though there are significant impediments - not from us but they have to get to us to give us the cash. Ie parking + parking fee. Then staff gave to handle it and take to bank

There are significant security issues with staff walking to the bank with cash.

There is a significant cost with handling cash.

What cheeses my office off is people paying by cash. It actually costs them nothing and our costs are less when then pay via electrons.

cash

But the cash is issued by the Guvment. And even though it’s face value is printed on it, it’s real value is continually extracted by the same Guvment by printing more money - especially if you keep it outside of the banking system. That is the hidden fee of carrying cash. While there are fees associated with CC purchases, a lot of CC purchases are free of fees

Crypto anyone?

The thing that cheeses me off with Cash is you need a card associated with your bank account to withdraw your money in cash from any of the bank run ATM. To use Cardless Cash withdrawal via phone app you can only use your bank’s ATM and not another bank.

You could insist you employer pays you in cash & use The Bank Of Mattress … buying tickets for most airlines would be a bit of a challenge.

I don't think anyone said having cash only was the desired outcome.

Forcing people into digital payments as the only option is all about control.

Husband much prefers using card. He can track his expenditure easier . With cash he has a tendency to fritter away .

 

[tgh]

Not sure where but I am sure I have seen surcharges for cash, a fair process for the inconvenience of managing a till
I was an early adopter and really enjoy a cashless existence with my trusty apple wallet.

It's about cost, retailers who aren't using that cash to avoid paying tax don't want to have to pay for the wages &/or spend the time dealing with it.

If I earn $50 I spend it on a whole range of things. It always gets split up. All that silly thought bubble is saying is that people use money to pay for things of varying cost.

Cash is an option. Exactly just as you can make your choices, Businesses are perfectly fine to make their choices. Your choices are not more important.

But I've already said this. The irony is that somehow your wishes seem to be more important that the wishes of others. No one is forcing you to use electronic payment, but you seem to what to force others to accept cash.

Anyway, since this all started with bunnings sausage sizzles. If you don't want people knowing you help community groups that great. Personally, I'm happy for people to know I give back to the community.

I have no problem with people knowing I am donating. Id be happy to do a swipe of my card. But that isn't allowed. I have to install their app, load my credit card details into that app, and only use that to buy a sausage. I rarely have cash on me so electronic suits me best. But not using their app. Having been caught up in Optus now there's no way an unknown app is getting my cc details.
