Default Re: Credit Card Vending Machines Coming

They already have them here! Not publicly about or anything. But @ my dh's company they have a swipe card (basically like a credit card w/o any embossed #'s ect) that they can use company wide in vending machines, to pay for co-pays @ the companys clinics (yes they have their own Dr's, Ped's, Ob's, Vision, Dental, fitness ctr ect) so it's not new to me.

BBBUUTTT! Like was previously said it can cause wreckless spending as you have no idea how much you spend til you get your bill KWIM? My dh spends between $25-$50 a week in vending & cafeteria!!!! I'm thankful to see that $ for groceries nonetheless see him spending it carelessly & even worse leaving more $ in the company rather than in his pay check as they deduct the amts out of his check every week! GRRR!

& Yes I've griped at him about it & some weeks he slows down & some occasions he even breaks down & goes shopping for lunches to take to work with him! UG!
