Or effect aliases. But given that it's strictly a syntactic transformation it seems like make the wrong default today, fix it in the next edition. (Editions come with tools to update syntax changes)
I found "quiet" packing tape recently. I bought it, while highly skeptical, for my last move. It was barely more expensive. I don't recall seeing it before.
Super pleasant, did not make the rip crackle squeal sound at all.
I think credit card fees are often positioned against what businesses believe is the cost of cash, i.e. zero.
However, with cash one needs to have / has / has to pay for:
* a more complex register
* a person who takes more time to do the transaction
* someone who counts the register at the end of the day to ensure it matches
* someone who drives to the bank to deposit the money (at random times)
* additional insurance
* a bank account which probably charges for these cash services
If you don't count time, then cash is better.
And also, in Europe, if you as a business prefer cash, we all know it means that you make X, but you only report X/2.
In Europe, interchange fees are capped at 0.3%, so generally handling cards is going to work out _cheaper_ than handling cash for most retail businesses. In the US, interchange can be ten times that, so it's a slightly different situation...
I've been to several cashless cafes that just had a Square tap thingy.
That said, I expect the cost of taking cash does scale to some degree with how much of it you take. Obviously you still need a cash register, but if only 10-20% of your business is cash, maybe it only needs to be reconciled and emptied out every second or third day? And it's a faster and lower stakes process if there's less in it? Insurance is cheaper as well if the total loss is 1/10 what it would be if every dime was passing through there.
Using Xantan gum is a sign of ultra processing. It's used to change mouth-feel, which is basically lying to the body.
I always recommend people to read / listen to https://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Processed-People-Science-Behind... to understand these ingredients and what they do to our bodies.
