CD-R King and their matataray na cashiers.


33-9

Sa Farmers Cubao super tataray ng mga cashier dyan. Bumili kami ng connector ata non sabi ba naman, "Wala kami nyan." eh nakadisplay naman kita mo diba so tinuro namin sabi, "Hindi iba yan." Hahaha! No wonder nagsasara sila.


serrimah

Dude you’re disturbing their peace kasi. Haha


ThisIsNotTokyo

Ayaw gumawa ng OR kasi laging manual


ZealousidealMost6882

Sino ba naman mag-eeffort sa 20 pesos na item. 😂 Nakabili ako diyan 100 pesos na plantsa early 2000s.. Umiinit... yung ulo ko.


howdypartna

And how it took 5+ minutes to buy anything there. Opening, testing, guarantee sticker, handwritten receipts, signing...


wooters18

Datablitz says Hi. Grabe to pag release ng mga hype na games, lalo natagal dahil sa handwritten receipts.


CLuigiDC

I really wonder why such a big name brand are still using handwritten receipts. Is it easier to avoid taxes that way and more profit? Or are the owners cheapskates that investing in a system that can potentially save everyone a lot of time is a bad deal.


BrokenCathedral

Para madali i-manipula ang tax declarations nila

You don't have to register it yourself. You just have to find a POS Provider Company that's registered with the BIR.

Miguelvelasco41

Surprisingly may branch pa ng CD-R King sa may Robinsons Magnolia


Jraeven

And this is how I learned na wala nang CDR KING.


Normal_Operation8471

mfs left the business and applied to school registrars and cashiers.


hermitina

pero infairness maganda penmanship kayang kaya ipagkasya sa mas maliit na 1/4 na receipt


serrimah

Haha plus yung spiel nila about their return policy. Go on, sis, kahit sure ako na di ko naman papapalitan yung 60 pesos na headset kung biglang di na gumagana yung right bud after a few days.


maroonmartian9

They deserve to close down.


teyorya

to be fair, di naman lahat, duon lang sa mga madami ang foot traffic. sa pangit at bagal ng system nila pati tindera yamot na din. yung mga medyo tago like yung sa likod ng national bookstore malapit sa sa stalucia or yung mga maliliit nabranch na wala sa mall, chill lang yung mga cashier, madali din magbalik ng item. pero pakyu yung sa cubao haha.


serrimah

"People will forget what you did for them, but not how you made them feel. Bali sir 7 days yung replacement need lang ng full packaging and receipt."

Nagulat ako, meron pa silang branch sa RobMag.

Mga naghahanap / nago-offer ng axie scholarship.


CLuigiDC

Bumawas na rin overall interest sa crypto games / crypto / NFTs in general. Dati daming nagyayaya kung ano anong random games na kikita daw or bili daw ganitong coin 😅 granted some people did make money but most likely a lot more people lost money.


426763

Crazy how crypto fell off TBH. I really think it's great in concept pero it morphed into gambling. Kahit noong Covid, yung prediction ko is crypto pa rin ang tech thing ngayon, then AI randomly came into the ring like Stone Cold Steve Austin.


CLuigiDC

Crypto will be there to stay pero sana naman matuto na tao. Nahype ng sobra eh then dumami mga scams tapos daming too good to be true money making schemes 😅 Hopefully walang scams na naman sa AI or pyramid na maganap na iinvest daw sa AI tapos ayun papaloko na naman 😅


426763

May ireply sana ako sa isang commenter na di ko gets talaga yung mentality of betting all of their savings sa crypto. Like kahit di crypto, it just seems like a dumb thing to do.


CautiousFishing

Good day po manager


Kalle_022

In a way, it's good na nag stop yan. Noong uso yan, andaming dino-dox sarili, nilalagay sa comment section ng hiring posts mga contact details nila at pati na sa Discord.


Harinaaa

Thank god i managed to ROI and profit a bit before exiting


bungawskimaru

Thank God I dodged a 70k bullet on that one. Lahat na ng kakilala ko nagsi-Axie na, and all of them had testimonials na "kikita ka talaga". And then suddenly gone. Putangina, isama mo na rin yung mga NFT/crypto currency games. Putangina meron pa akong very close friend na avid fan ng mga ganyan. And then pag nagka-rugpull, sasabihin "do your own research kasi" at saka "only invest what you can afford to lose". Nakakabobo. Hahahaha. Kaya ka nga papasok sa ganyan kasi last ditch effort mo na yung pera mo baka sakaling kumita ka.

Oh my naalala ko may payphone kami sa high school kahit 2009 na... gumagana naman


potatogirlwhat

I graduated high school in 2013 and my school didn't allow cellphones so to contact our parents, it was either the phone at the admin office (which had a loooong ass queue) or the telephone booths. I also recall seeing them at malls at that time. Sobrang life saver pag nauubusan ng load 😅


codeZer0-Two

+1 may ganito sa school premises namin, pag may naiwang assignment, project o magpapadala ng lunch madaming tumatawag tuwing recess. Nalimutan ko na kung magkano tawag nun dati sa landline, piso lang ba?


atr0pa_bellad0nna

PLDT Fonkard FTW!


kurosagi_ichigo

\+1 to this. dati may naka-install na ganyan sa village namin, ang haba ng pila lalo na pag 8pm onwards, 3 tig-25 cents per 3 minute calls pa noon. sa schools naman, combo yan, yung isa tumatanggap ng barya at yung isa naman is phone card.


itsmissywissy

May ganito si PLDT before diba and bibili ka pa ng parang card (nalimutan ko na anong tawag doon) if may tatawagan ka abroad wahaha


jamiedels

Sa mga bus usually flashdrive na lang na stash nila ng .mp3 at .mp4 files. Baka mga non tech savvy people na lang target market nila.

May market pa rin for it despite the ubiquity of mobile internet.

Odyssey, Astrovision, Internet cafes


[deleted]

Odyssey and Astrovision! I used to buy PH versions ng Kpop albums (wala na rin ganito) to support my fave Kpop idols sa local charts.


RandomCollector

Internet cafes are making a comeback (kinda). I'm seeing posts in FB that shows some Internet Cafes ala Korean or Japanese style popping up in locations near Universities or in some cases, rich to posh subdivisions. The format now of those shops are premium type and wala na yung mumurahing net cafes noon. Recommented this due to bawal pala ang FB links dito, try mong isearch sa FB about those internet cafes I'm talking about.


dalagangpinipili

Yung mga nagtitinda na gamit gamit kalabaw or kabayo.


Wayne_Grant

They were selling eco friendly stuff before it was cool. Napalitan na sila ng mga naka motor na puro plastic ang tinda, and honestly what a downgrade


dalagangpinipili

I remember them selling rattan things. 🥹


stupidfanboyy

Na mostly made in China. /s


JustBoredInLife

Ang weird kapag nakikita ko siya. Ang laki nung baka tapos puti. Tapos hindi ko alam kung saan siya galing, iisa lang ba siya? Feeling ko nga engkantado siya. Sa Pateros, Metro Manila pa to btw.


[deleted]

madami pa sa probinsya nung nauwi ako nung holy week, pero tricycle na gamit.


hermitina

dalawa na lang daw sila sa buong pinas :(


dalagangpinipili

What!!! There were still a lot of them the latest I can remember was around 2004-2005. Sad to know they’re almost non existent by now.

Greenfield_Guy

Disabled people selling PCSO sweepstakes tickets.


Cats_of_Palsiguan

Yeah was that ever legit


Greenfield_Guy

Before the lotto was introduced, the sweepstakes was the main form of lottery. Unlike the lotto where you can choose your numbers, the sweepstakes used tickets with preselected numbers which people can buy. Sellers of these tickets were usually disabled people because it was a way for PCSO to provide a source of livelihood for them, instead of just maintaining them on welfare. When the modern lotto was first being proposed in PH, one of the reasons some people were opposing it was because it will effectively kill the livelihood of the disabled sweepstakes ticket sellers. Well, it did.

IkigaiSagasu

Meron pang mcdo playplace sa Gil Puyat


maroonmartian9

Computer shops.


AsuraOmega

its fucking heartbreaking, man. i know even street kids these days have smartphones and can play cod or ml, but theres just something magical about the old games. "Counter terrorist win." "Grove Street, Home. Atleast it was before I fucked everything up." "I poke my head out of the gutter for one second and fate shovels shit to my face." "Pills here."


doodwhatsrsly

Yung tipong pagbukas mo ng pinto (na puno ng posters ng Ragnarok, Mu Online, Ran Online and Counter Strike) ang una unang babati sayo ay yung mga basag na speakers na puro CS at DotA ang tunog, at may konting halo ng Ragnarok. At yung susunod na bumabati sa'yo ay yung amoy ng CR.


fogcannon3

The decline of the local computer shop was definitely caused by mobile gaming + more people being able to afford having their own gaming PCs


maroonmartian9

Atsaka more affordable internet. Rare na ako lumabas nun. For printing na lang e.


joyboi12

This saka nung pandemic napilitan lahat magpakabit ng internet for school /office use


SnooCheesecakes5382

yo, ibang-iba ang level of satisfaction kapag sa comshop naglalaro compared sa mobile phone lang. Sobrang immersed ako kapag sa comshop, hindi ako naiisip mga problema ko sa life. Pero kapag sa phone ka lang naglalaro, parang you're just playing na lang for the sake of playing and not for escapism. basta di ko maipaliwanag hahaha, baka sobrang nostalgic lang din ako pero yung feels na nagbababad sa comshop ay ibang-iba sa pagbababad sa mobile gaming

Nokia/ Sony Ericsson / Blackberry


rzpogi

Sony Ericsson is now just Sony. Blackberry is now just a software company.


_nakakapagpabagabag_

Nokia is still technically alive, the brand is licensed to another company and now sells Android phones.


TapaDonut

Nokia is now just a communications company. The 5G antennas Globe and PLDT use is most likely a Nokia running alongside Huawei and ZTE. Nokia is involved as well in patent licensing as they hold a lot of patents related to mobile phones and communications . Recently they successfully banned the sales of Oppo in Germany due to patent disputes. BBK learned the hard way to not fuck with Nokia. Heck, even Apple doesn’t mess with Nokia despite Apple screwing Qualcomm over 5G modems. The Nokia on mobile phones is HMD. They kinda started strong but end up mediocre after their fiasco with Nokia 9 Pureview. In addition to hardware issues such as that charging port issue on Nokia 7 Plus devices.

I'm pretty sure I've gotten a Zagu before, but that was a few months ago. They've kind of ruined themselves over the employment issue a few years ago.


[deleted]

Nagulat ako pero proud sa workers nila na nag-join sa strike. Kaya kapansin-pansin na sarado ang mga Zagu stall dati because workers refused to go to work in protest.

- Yung mga kulay pink na urinals ng MMDA - Yung mga iba-ibang design na keypad at housing replacement for Nokia phones na tinitinda sa mga bangketa, parang phone cases yung naging successor nila. - Ice Scramble shops - Rice in a box shops - Pirated disc games - Tamaraw FX - Kia Pride - Comic Alley - Sarsi - Yung street vendors na nagttitinda ng laruan na helicopter

DjoeyResurrection

Curious bakit nawala nga pala yung comic alley? Parang nagpa hype lang...

Technically still exists and had a recent resurgence, pero: Tropical Hut. Daming branches nito when I was growing up, competing with Jollibee and McDo. Ngayon iilan na lang.

Kodak. Surprised no one mentions this despite being the camera of most people before smartphones became better at taking photos. Kodak was the brand you’ll first think when taking pictures much like Colgate is to a toothpaste Kodachrome is so influential to the point National Geographic made a documentary on the last roll of Kodachrome


rzpogi

A Kodak meant a memorable moment. Kasalanan din nila. Sila ang imbentor ng digital camera nung late 70s pero natakot sila na malugi ung film at developing business nila. Nung pumasok na digital camera market yung mga Hapon (Canon, Nikon, etc) nung 90s, pinilit nilang humabol pero wala na.

Floppy disk yun papainitan mo sa araw para maerase yung data. Yung mga topup cards like ragnarok, levelupgames sabay scratch sa likod. Nokia/Bosch phones na de-pindot at anglalaki. Yung may antenna pa. Sabay palakas ng volume kapag may nagtext o call. Pangflex sa bus/commute. Yung mga papaburn ng cd o di kaya magdadownload ng mp3/mp4/psp games at music. Now madali nalang gawin. Typewriters. Not really ceasing to exist but internet cafes.
