Buy now, pay later. . . For a burrito?

In 2010, a programmer who was undermining bitcoin made the comic error of spending 10,000 bitcoin on two pizzas. At the time of writing this article, these currencies were worth $ 850 million.

While there are few comparisons with this type of calculation error, the possibility of adding interest payments to fast food orders is raising concerns. Derived from an association announced earlier this week between Dordash and Klarna, customers can now buy a Burrito or McDonalds order and pay it later in four interestless payments.

The agreement provides diners, to spend at least $ 35, more flexibility, both companies say. But customers who differentiate payment in a fast food delivery have a significantly greater risk of missing one of those interest -free installments.

In fact, for some, the new association is another worrying economic sign of the times. Chuck Bell by Consumer Reports says TO NEW YORK Times: “If you do not pay the bill in time and start getting multiple late rates, it could end up being a very expensive stuffed chili or Pad Thai.”
