When you're paying by card, do you tap and walk away before the payment goes through? Or do you stand there, stare at the screen, and wait for the magic word - approved? Dion has been quietly questioning his own behaviour at the 7-Eleven counter, and he reckons the whole anxiety might be tied to something deeper about how we want to be seen by retail workers. Is leaving the counter early a power move, or just rude?
This unspools into a much bigger question about where moral responsibility sits in a small transaction. When the payment terminal goes down on a $1.50 7-Eleven coffee and the cashier waves you off, do you owe it to the multinational to go back and pay? Does the obligation shift if it's a small independent pizza place that lets you off and trusts you to come back?
Plus: a confession that the trust-based pizza was, in fact, terrible. A public health warning is issued. Dion's FODMAP pills are once again the topic everyone wants to know more about than he'd like.
