to not want the pin machine in the co-op to try to strike up conversation?

[nevergoogle]

Today it was, "Do you have a pet?"

None of your fucking business pin machine.

"What next?" i said.

"Did you watch eastenders last night?"

"Are you sure you need onions?"

"If you were a drink what would you be?"

Gah!

(anyway mid rant the woman at the till informed me she did infact watch eastenders last night and we agreed we both couldn't wait for thursdays episode)

but still, shut up machine.

Oh I hate it in Boots when they say "Do you have a Boots card?" and you say "Oh yes but it's at home" and they say "Ooh okay, I'll just validate your receipt then for you." I never ever take the receipts back in to get the points. What is the point of that.

[nevergoogle]

they do that in tescos too if you forget your clubcard.

it's best just to lie. Shhhh, don't tell them.

[nevergoogle]

shameless bump as i was enjoying this thread so much last night

[nevergoogle]

lmao that this thread made up half of the round up.

Aitch? explain yourself. do i get half your pay? (if you get paid that is) or maybe half of your invite to some fancy corporate do with boris johnson. (i need a word with him btw)

Our cocacola machine at work suddenly requested Deutschmarks instead of the normal 80p.

I put in 80p anyway,

It said Danke.

Never did it again for anyone else.

I was weirded out

[KathyImLost]

I always say thank you to cash machines. Can't help it. But yes, the pin machines in our co op do this too. I ignore them, if they want some market research they can pay me to do a yougov survey (tho I always lie on those so maybe not).

[vixma]

Er...normally get one question from the payment bit....Not a big deal, love the Coop as it is very ethical.

[Blahrahrah]

Ive never been to a co-op so I have no idea WHAT you are talking about, but this thread has given me the giggles!

[nevergoogle]

It asked me again if i had a pet yesterday.

This time i said yes.

What sort of statistics do you think they are hoping for? Surely the numbers are warped by asking the same person the same question?!

i like the german cocacola machine. kind of sexy in a porn star kind of way. that machine would be on a winner with me.

[coolma]

The one I use said 'would you like to support deaf people?'

[roisin]

Is this really true? I want to go to the co-op now!

[nevergoogle]

huh?! really, that's brilliant.
I wonder what happens if you say no?

[sharbie]

at lunar

when are they going to do a button that says - 'just give me £20 NOW'

[nevergoogle]

YY sharbie, a cut the crap about receipts and whether the worthy machine thinks i should save paper, just give me the damn money and quick. perhaps cash machines could default to that mode if it's raining.

[catinboots]

it asked me if i had a pet yesterday too...
