Garfield by Jim Davis for February 03, 2019

The square root of 324 is 18. The square root of $3.24 is $1.80.

Aren’t Cheese Doodles from Big Nate?

(Sarcastically) Ain’t technology great?!

So Jon has the “chipless” card…

Jon and Garfield wanting those cheese doodles while watching the Game? (To answer the machine’s question of the square root of 324, it is 18; I asked Siri.)

I was actually eating cheese balls as I read this. What are the chances?

The credit card reader did not ask for a tip.

I wonder if that was a negative boop or a positive boop for the charity request.

I was fourth in line to get the answer 18. (internal sob)

One of the worst checkout counters ever.

Contactless rules, using the phone I hardly use the card these days

Then there is signing ones signature with your finger, no pen. It never looks right, but is always accepted.

LOL! That’s about what it feels like sometimes!!!!

And that’s why you use cash.

I would rather do my business with a human than a computer any day.

I would run screaming from the store if asked to “show my work”…

Now I want some Cheez Doodles.

Still haven’t got a chip card? US invented it but hasn’t got around to using it much.

And the card reader at another store will be slightly different from this one.

Tired of grocery stores wanting to add $s to your bill for some charity. We give enough without feeling guilty for not giving at the grocery store too!

Your tax will be $18 this includes sales tax, food and beverage tax, EPA environmental impact tax, Thingamajig Tax, NY expanded unhealthy food tax and whatchamacallit tax. Please insert credit or debit card. (You will be charged a Fed fee for using the card.) What is the square root of the national debit?

That machine any relation of Betty (Boop)?

Glad to see I’m not the only one that wonders why you have to take a test every time you check out at the grocery store

Cash is king.

18. (sorry)

18!

I didn’t know Big Nate lived in the same world as Garfield!

I… refuse to use those self checkout counters.. It is a small (and likely ineffective) way to keep people employed.

it’s why i stopped going to Radio Shack. just trying to buy batteries and they practically need a blood test for 2 D cells

LOL

A fitting snack for Super Bowl Sunday.

getting gas in North Dakota… – 53 degrees at the pump – wind blowing – and we have to answer stupid questions like that before we can actually just start pumping gas.

Thanks Jim for expressing something we all feel every time we have to go through that damn gauntlet with those checkout machines.

This reminds me of the Verizon website. It always tells me it doesn’t recognize my password. I have to get a new one every time I log on to fix a problem.

My freshman math teacher once showed us how you manually figure out a square root. I don’t know that I ever really got the hang of it. I definitely don’t remember how anymore. I know it was similar to long division.

Answer is 18

Pretty good!

Tooooo close to home: Do you want an emailed receipt? Will you take a short survey? Do you want to round up your purchase for charity? Do you want to donate $5 to the LittleSistersOfThePoor? Please enter your email for weekly junk email. AAARRRGGGgggg!!!!

That’s what happens when you use a debit card — I guess. I don’t use one myself.

Relatable.

For me it’s the annoying “please insert chip card” after I have swiped it. I mean, it has a magnetic strip, why not just use what the machine has already read.

18

this is what happens when teachers don’t let u use cash.

LOL HAHAHAHAHA

No cheese balls for jon super bowl sunday that the patriots won again. Poor jon stupid thing this is not math school

It’s 18, the square root of 324 is 18 stupid.

I just love the way Garfield gives you that “bruh” look in panel 4.

Big Nate reference

I can confirm this is accurate… except the square root of stuff.

18 no google

Answer: 18. Working: google
