Now I can finance a Coca-Cola.

At work, we have a lunch room. In it, among all the usual amenities, is a vending machine full of coca-cola beverages. The coca-cola maintainance person came by and installed a credit card reader and a cute little video screen. So now, we have coca-cola TV playing in our lunchroom 24 hours a day, just like Big Brother. And if I don't have enough coins in my pocket for a fizzy beverage fix, I can finance it with my credit card and pay interest on that coke purchase.

Some days, the future is a little sad and scary.
