They obviously do not have any German friends
Not anymore
I absolutely call out inaccuracies like this.
Am I German? 👀
You might be. Germans will sometimes fight over cents for the sake of principle.
I don’t feel it makes sense to drink the principal sake. Am I Japanese?
dunno if germany has this but in sweden we have the tradition that knives cannot be gifted, you must always pay a token amount lest the knife “cut” your relationship.
Am German, can confirm that I am not friends with this person.
So the grindset begins…
few people know this but there is actually quite a lot of money to be made from scamming your friends
Friends? I prefer the term ‘rubes’
“friends”? you mean “potential customers”.
There’s an entire MLM industry built upon it!
I’m getting Ass Pennies energy
God I feel like some people really are like this and wonder why they don’t have any friends who are actually decent people.
In the US Air Force they use US currency at all overseas facilities and shops on the base. But they don’t ship pennies because it’s not worth the cost, so they round up or down to the nearest 5. I worked with a guy who was so cheap that when it would round down he would pay with cash and when it would round up he would write a check (this was before debit cards, yes I’m that old).
5c is our smallest coin in Australia so all transactions work this way.
If I have to use up some cash at a self serve machine but I don’t have enough to cover the whole thing, when I do the debit card portion of my split payment I make sure to leave 2c extra.
So if it’s $12 and I have to use up a $5 note I’ll split pay $6.98 on my debit, the machine will ask for the other $5.02 and will round down when I put in the $5 note.
No I don’t actually care about the 2c but I’m having to type in a split pay number regardless so figure why not.
That’s how it works everywhere here. But no one uses cash and all use card/contactless.
hilariously this is just how things are in all of sweden, we got rid of our equivalent to the penny and now it only remains in a vestigial decimal at the end of prices.
i have no fucking clue why we don’t just force all costs to be rounded to the actual smallest unit of currency, all it does is allow people to set dumb prices like 14.95
This reminds me of LinkedIn lunatics. Funny
That moment when you Capitalism your social group.
I don’t use LinkedIn. But most of the screenshots I see of posts on linkedin on other platforms are stuff like this.
It’s sad that satire like this isn’t obvious anymore. 100 bucks over 5 years should have been a giveaway, but linkedinlunatics is a thing, so.
wow, that’s just awful
Don’t worry, it is a joke account.
Jokes are meant to be funny.
Part of the joke is that he posts this kind of stuff on LinkedIn to make fun of ‘grindset’ douchebags
I mean, it was absurd enough to be funny for me. So maybe it just isn’t funny to you?
Oh welp, turns out an entire classification is based on on a randos personal preference! You learn new things every day…
Is Ken Cheng the new Ken M?
He’s the Ken M of linked in
Sounds like a cover story for someone with dyslexia tbh
Dyslexia doesnt exist
It was just a cover so people can steal fractions of dollars from other people “by accident”
There aren’t many good reasons to ghost someone but you do bring up a good one.
yeah, always round up. owe 17.89? you send $20 and call it interest for covering for you to begin with.
Conversely, this also means you value your honor that little.
