It's awesome that most financial transactions really, really, really want you to pay via credit card (by making it a lot more onerous to pay with any other method) and then charge a 1-3% "convenience fee" for doing so.
How did we let them get away with this and make this the norm, people? How did we not push back on this the first time one of these profiteers tried to foist this upon us?
@peterbutler I'm not sure that I can use Zelle to pay my COBRA insurance premiums. My only experiences with Zelle so far has been that it requires a phone number or email address, and I don't know how that would work for a business.
I guess I could set up my bank to make payments from my account, but then there's other fees associated with that (as they actually send a paper check rather than a wire transfer).
Like I said, it's onerous to pay any way other than cards.
@revengeday Is there supposed to be options or are they just blank because this is a straw-man, throw-away poll? I can't tell what I'm voting for. :gnah:
@kaiserkiwi I can't believe that corpos are still doing stuff like this in 2024. Just goes to show how out of touch with society they are, and yet they just keep doing it.
I also can't believe that at one point, thankfully very early on in my career, I would have thought this was "fun" and showed how "not stuffy" my company was. Then again, very early on in my career, this sort of thing would have been Wired instead of so, so Tired. It would have been new-ish back then because I'm old. :kekw:
Corpo culture is so bad. This kind of thing makes me never want to work for a corpo again (amongst all the other things).
It never ceases to amaze me how blindingly painful a tiny little cut in the center of one's index finger can be. And woe unto them who happen to get some sort of citric acid in there.
