“Is a $100 Dunkin’ Donuts gift card for a trash collector wrongful?” wrote Justice Brett Kavanaugh in the court’s opinion. “What about a $200 Nike gift card for a county commissioner who voted to fund new school athletic facilities? Could students take their college professor out to Chipotle for an end-of-term celebration?”
In my country government employees (including teachers) can’t legally accept gifts above €10 in value. All of these examples would be illegal here. Sounds petty, but anti-corruption laws are pretty strict for a reason.
EDIT: I was wrong. This is in Erfurt, Germany.
That might be Switzerland. White frames around traffic lights are not typical for Germany. And the sign itself would likely have a white background instead of a yellow one. Also there is a Molly Malone Pub with a similar typography as the one in the ad in Winterthur, Switzerland.
And yes, it’s a very boring day today
Exactly. And wait - there’s more: A lot of shops in Germany refuse to accept cards (because every transaction costs them), so you’ll have to pay in cash. After a short while you will carry around a massive amount of nearly worthless coins. Also a lot of elderly people like to pay their groceries in those collected 1, 2, 5 and 10 ct coins. They hand over their cash cent by cent by cent and of course, the cashier has to count them to ensure that the sum is correct. Which it usually isn’t, which means that the elderly person is inclined to go fishing in their purse for more little cent coins and so on.
I wonder what would happen if a bakery decided to round their prices at least up to 10 ct. I for one would be eternally grateful.
From the article: “It is unlikely the Department would ever pursue action against anyone using the Logan Act, given no one has been convicted of violating the 1799 law”
End of story.
I wonder why user tests aren’t even mentioned once in the article. If you design an interface you have to test it with your audience
