Because that would be discrimination. Otherwise they absolutely would do it lol

Then you can pay more for your ticket. Simple fact is, to save money on fuel, the airline has to use the smallest possible airplane and have high seat density. Luxury airlines like Emirates or Etihad might have lower seating density but you’ll pay extra for the tickets.
Emirates CEO is asking Airbus to start building the A380 again, but in a new more fuel efficient version. Even gave them some design ideas. Reason being, that huge-ass plane can be better optimized for comfort due to economies of scale. Unfortunately I think they’re using a lot of that space for first class, which gets showers and shit.
In the US, supposedly JetBlue has more space in economy than the big 3 tend to. Willing to bet it’s more expensive too, but I wouldn’t know, I’ve only flown European airlines and cheap to midrange ones at that.

Thing is, you may have to go to jail, depending on what the company is caught doing. Your name will be all over the news too.

Being a CEO and being a shareholder have nothing to do with each other.
The truly rich, AKA the major shareholders, aren’t going to bother with a job, unless running their own company (probably the one they’re the major shareholder at).
Then the big institutional shareholders (Blackrock and the like) invest other people’s money - people like you and me.
Only a minority of shareholders for any given company, are CEOs at other companies.
It’s still a club for the ultra rich and we ain’t in it. I’m just saying that your average CEO is set up to be a scapegoat for even richer and shadier people (while still very much not being one of us working class citizens)

It’s not that they take responsibility, but rather in extreme circumstances they take the plunge and resign, or they’re fired. So the company can say they’re turning a new leaf
Examples from a quick search:
Hank McKinnell, CEO of Pfizer, received a US$188 million severance package after his resignation, even after a 44% decline in the company’s stock value since he took over in 2001.
Jeff Smisek, the former CEO of United Airlines, received a separation payment of $4.875 million in cash along with additional equity awards and other benefits for a total of close to $37 million.
United was in the middle of a corruption scandal and of course he took the fall, but I’m 100% sure he wasn’t acting alone.
Shady companies are always gonna be shady. But they’ll oust a CEO every now and then to pretend like they’re gonna change.

That helps, but largely the boards consist of major shareholders, or people that the shareholders have elected to be there.
The board, representing the shareholders, needs to make sure the company maximizes shareholder value above all else. They steer the company in very broad strokes. But if the company does something illegal or highly unpopular, the board members want themselves, the shareholders and the company in general to be as insulated as possible. So the CEO is a sacrificial lamb who either resigns or is fired, and takes the golden parachute. The idea is that the CEO was at fault and everything’s gonna be better now (no it’s not lol)

This must be the 10th time I comment this on Lemmy and you might already know this, but:
The reason a CEO gets paid what he gets paid is not because of the value he adds to the company (as you pointed out, anyone could do the job), but because when the company fucks up (whether due to his decisions, or those of the board, or just anything, really), he takes the fall so the company can keep on doing whatever shady shit they’re doing and the board can act like they had no idea what was going on.

Paper menu has accessibility issues too. You have to stand up and go to the counter, for one. You have to talk to someone.
For different reasons, physical or mental, those aren’t great for a lot of people.

Ah this is a whole different set of bots.
The ones in the OP seem to be advertising a different youtube channel that then links to a website that supposedly contains nudes. That’s pretty new
The one in yours, the “multiple people discussing a way to get rich” chain is pretty old by now, has been going on for at least 2-3 years.

Oh wow, I was like “interesting, haven’t seen these” seeing the three emojis and stuff on yours

To test the theory, I (a car nut) went to one of the biggest automotive YouTubers, Mat Armstrong, who’s currently rebuilding his dad’s dream car and released the last video 2 days ago.
Two comments, different profile, same profile pic that, zoomed out enough, looks like a vagina. Go on the profile and they both look like this:

Honestly, no idea. Laws vary so much by jurisdiction anyway.
Tbh I agree that there should be an in-person option always. If for no other reason then just to be able to pay in cash. Just make sure to let people know it’s not the most convenient option but it’s available.
I’m not entirely sure what the point of the app is though, compared to a website with payment options. Lots of people will say tracking, but you can get a lot of info through a browser too.

OP said coffee shop so I’m presuming it’s not a real restaurant, and the app would facilitate ordering without queueing. Which I like. But I don’t wanna download an app, I want to just sit down, scan a QR and pay with one of the cards stored in my phone. And obviously cash should still be a backup option. I can see why they might want to do away with card terminals though.
