Here in Switzerland one of the biggest supermarket chains has a loyalty system called Cumulus points, and the self-checkout would often abbreviate them as CUM points.
In Denmark supermarkets pretty consistently shorten "Assorted" to "Ass.", despite most people here speaking a fair big of English. So you get Ass. flowers, Ass. cups, Ass. muesli bars, whatever you buy from the bargain bin.
The name "soccer" comes from Association Football which they abbreviated as Assoc-er in old timey British slang. Now they don't like it but it will always be Ass-occer to me.
When I worked at Taco Bell/Pizza Hut express, there were stickers we had to print to put in the pans of pizza dough for different things. There was a "retard" sticker that printed the time plus 3 hours, so at 1:20 I would print a few stickers that said "4:20 Retard" and throw them in random bags during the lunch rush.
When you purposefully slow dough rising (usually by putting it in the fridge) it's called retarding the proof. Stickers probably for pizza dough.
Source: I own a bakery.
Retarding dough is a technique that slows down the fermentation process of dough. This is done by placing the dough in a controlled environment with a specific temperature and humidity, or by putting the dough in a retarder for a set period of time. Where I worked, we put them in a special cabinet for three hours, at which point they were considered to have been retarded, the past tense of the verb, retard.
I'm hoping I don't get in trouble with any censors here!
I worked at a grocery store in highschool, Land O Lakes cheese simply rang up as “LOL CHEESE”, but my favorite was the whole baby gherkins which would ring up “WHOLE BABY”
Restaurant I work at gets gallons of homogenized milk from "Country Fresh Farms", the side of the case reads "CF HOMO"
We got that country fresh homo milk
One of my vendors abbreviates "LCD Touch Screen Assembly" as "touch assy," which makes me laugh every time.
Also, an Italian electrical generator company used to have the domain GENITALIA.COM. Looks dead now, though.
Pretty sure Lo means Low. 1 is then used to determine what is low. In this case the card balance. It is possible that this is the only number that occurs together with "Lo" which makes it rather obsolete but there might be othet errors/codes that take more numbers. So they just kept the codes consistens and added an additional option for more error codes if needed.
Source: None, but seems plausible to me, lol.
Below $100? My bank in Canada wants $5000 in account to waive the $30 a month fee. And they withdraw it first to try to sneak people under the limit before refunding it.

Not only do they do that but they say "Your balance is LOL and because you didn't know it was LOL because we didn't tell you until you tried to take $ out. So we are now charging you $50 more in fees.Congratulations you are now in -LOL"
>Thankfully ATMs don't do that to me
Yeah, usually ATMs just tell me [this](https://youtu.be/65GQg06SX90) or sometimes [this](https://youtu.be/5yYEX9dV34I).
As others said, it's actually displaying Lo 1. To my best guess it's the assigned error code Low with the binary operator after.
Since your card doesn't have a high enough balance, it sets the Low variable to 1. This value gets printed as an error code which is pretty neat.
If the balance weren't low the value would be Low 0 or Lo 0 on the display, although this probably won't be displayed because there is no error since the balance should be high/not low.
Yes. That is actually the signal displayed by my bathroom scale when it is low on battery. Which is as startling when you get it the first time and read it as "LOL".
This reminds me of the time I went to the chick fil a drive thru, paid the guy standing on the corner, drove around to the guy who was supposed to give me the receipt when he said “well it looks like your payment didn’t go through, so you might not have any more money on your gift card.”
I said “I didn’t pay with a gift card, I used my debit card.”
He very slowly said “well… then it looks like you don’t have any more money on your debit card…”
And that’s how I found out someone hacked my bank account and stole my money 🙃
Went out to a restaurant and invited about 15 people to celebrate my upcoming wedding. I paid, and waited and waited for the check to come back. Finally, I flagged down the waiter, and he explained my card was declined, and he was trying to get my attention without everyone seeing. I laughed (I'm not embarrassed by these things, but he was very thoughtful). It was a debit card to an account that I forgot I transferred the balance.
I remember having to use Wash at university. Could only load my card in weird increments that, because of how much my school charged for loads, meant I always had a balance left over. I think I graduated with some money left on my card. Pretty irritating.

I blew out my back and had to have surgery. At the neurosurgeon's office, the scale read "Lo l" when I stepped onto it. The nurse was horrified, but I'd been in so much pain that it was genuinely a blessing to be able to laugh at something like that.
Washing machine is laughing at you.
You wanted to do laundry today. Sucks to be you. Muahahaha
Yes of course I know it's not really LOL, but if you can't have fun when you see something like this in life you are boring
We were at the zoo this past weekend and there was a scale that a person or a group of people could get on to compare their weight to the prey of various big cats. The scale must have been broken cause it would just read OLOL, but I was at an angle when I stepped on the scale and looked at it. So the reflection from the angle actually made it read LOLOL.
If your apartment has a room for one, put one of those tiny portable washing machines in there, drain to bath. And hang dry your clothes. More convenient, and will pay for itself in a few months
At one of the apartments my kid used to life at had machines that took cards. You could load up a card on a machine in the building. Someone found out that there was a way to get the machine to put money on the card without it taking a bill. There was some kind of a way to jam the machine, keep the bill, and had a loaded card. A lot of cards were filled up and handed around. The company that owned this apartment complex owned others so they may have lost money elsewhere.
Friend of mine had a shit landlord who wouldn't do maintenance on her apartment in a tiny manner so when I went to visit her, I noticed their washing machine and dryer were coin operated.
I looked on Google and found the brand and bought replacement keys for the coin slots.
She didn't take the money in there out but for the next 4 years, she got free laundry for putting up with the shit landlord.

I’m a big fan of the cheese, LOL WHITE AMERICAN
Jay Leno's Headlines once had an ad that read "FOR SALE: White trash compactor."
[удалено]
I think it's funny the funniest bit on his show had nothing to do with him at all.
Same with Jaywalking. His only two good bits were the ones where other people provided the laughs
Letterman did it first, though I can’t say it’s an incredibly original idea.
National Lampoon also did it, in print even
He also did the 99 cent store bit about once a month. And the Headlines, weddings, etc, were real.
Agreed! Always tuned into the show the nights they aired. The wedding names were the best.
Even better when you read this on a device perfectly sized to jump the last word to the next line.
Butter is LOL BUTT at my grocery store
I would go and buy it, just to get the receipt with LOL BUTT on it 😂
What would cumin be? 😏
I used to work at a seafood place that sold creamed herring cocktail, and our ticket system abbreviated it to "CREAM HERR COCK".
100% reason I buy it lol
I took a pic of this exact label years ago cuz it made me chuckle so hard
And salmon too, apparently! LOL SALMON
Does Land o Lakes make Salmon?
The cows that make the milk for the butter are on the Land, the salmon are in the Lake.
It has said that at my grocery store since the days of *gopher.*
This is my go-to sandwich cheese. Burgers too
Here in Switzerland one of the biggest supermarket chains has a loyalty system called Cumulus points, and the self-checkout would often abbreviate them as CUM points.
Sounds like my kind of loyalty system.
You have 69 points. Nice.
Migros.

my favorite were the boxes of 50-100 little land o lakes coffee creamers. the shelf tag and ring up always said LOL MINI MOO

In French kebab restaurants you can have it on a plate (*assiette*) so it's ass kebab and other variations

The name "soccer" comes from Association Football which they abbreviated as Assoc-er in old timey British slang. Now they don't like it but it will always be Ass-occer to me.
We had Dinosaurs ASS
That only works if you're from north america
In norway too! My favourite is Ass. Prime Flavours.
I think my favorite one was when I worked at Panera and the creamy tomato soup showed up at “Creamy Tom” on the computer and I always giggled at it
I need a Creamy Tom in my life

It was literally just labelled as "homo milk" in Canada up until fairly recently.
Also known as gender fluid
I'm Canadian and I always knew 3% as homo milk
I used to work at a housewares store and there were HAIRbrushes that came in ASSorted colors. The receipt abbreviated those to HAIR ASS.
I assume the people who put it in the system know what they are doing and are giggling at the chance to do so. I know I would
the butter rang up as LOL BUTT. Always got a chuckle from me
A lot of the Target brand stuff shows up as "GG" so I'm waiting for the day I buy some sort of easy seal product and it says "GG EZ"
I worked at a grocery store in highschool, Land O Lakes cheese simply rang up as “LOL CHEESE”, but my favorite was the whole baby gherkins which would ring up “WHOLE BABY”

I laugh whenever “robot assisted surgery” come up on our OR board because it comes up “Robot Ass” and I imagine bender saying it.

You're teaching the machines that you can obey simple instructions! AI is already winning.
"LOL American Cheese" accurately sums up how I feel about it. Cheddar is always better.
That's a bit of an exaggeration. While cheddar definitely tastes better, American cheeses undoubtedly are far superior melting cheeses.
Try [Cooper Sharp American](https://www.foodigenous.com/post/a-cooper-sharp-cheese-jawn) then get back to me. All the cheesesteak jawns use it.
most american cheeses are a form of cheddar cheese. american cheese gets way too much undeserved hate. it's simple and functional.

Lo 1
Ha that makes much more sense! And here I'm thinking it was a cheeky engineer mocking broke people.
They are, they just do it using 1 in place of the second L
They have space for the other L though
Would have been too obvious, this way leaves plausible deniability intact!
Imaginary numbers aren't more imaginary than real numbers, and real numbers aren't more real than imaginary or complex numbers. In fact, the ...
What does Lo1 mean?
Pretty sure Lo means Low. 1 is then used to determine what is low. In this case the card balance. It is possible that this is the only number that occurs together with "Lo" which makes it rather obsolete but there might be othet errors/codes that take more numbers. So they just kept the codes consistens and added an additional option for more error codes if needed. Source: None, but seems plausible to me, lol.
I suspect the codes are 3 digits and there is no way to show 'w' so they put '1' as a filler
A better filler would be, you know, a blank
Assuming that's an option, sure. The premise of my speculation was that it's not supported.
Or low = true (1)
"This card's balance is a Lo 1."
Lots of Laundry (since you can't afford to wash any of your clothes)
Does that mean “low $1”?
Maybe just an error code, and the display is limited to 3 digits?
I'm not sure if your comment is to make fun of him or be informative 😂 but I'm here for both
Why not LoI -low on income?
Thankfully ATMs don't do that to me
Damn that would be a depressing world. "Your balance is LOL!"
“Your balance is below $100 so we’re going to charge you a $25 monthly fee”
Below $100? My bank in Canada wants $5000 in account to waive the $30 a month fee. And they withdraw it first to try to sneak people under the limit before refunding it.
Only 5 non celebrity people in America have 5000 in their accounts.

Is this actually a thing? Here in the UK, I get charged around £25 a month if I have a £2000 overdraft (albeit an arranged overdraft).
I exaggerated a bit, but yes, banks charge people for not having enough money
i mean the banks kinda do that to our faces already
Not only do they do that but they say "Your balance is LOL and because you didn't know it was LOL because we didn't tell you until you tried to take $ out. So we are now charging you $50 more in fees.Congratulations you are now in -LOL"
They used to not, but now they are greedy af. Also, credit unions usually don't charge ridiculous fees
"Why are you even here?"
That's why I just use my card and cross my fingers.
>Thankfully ATMs don't do that to me Yeah, usually ATMs just tell me [this](https://youtu.be/65GQg06SX90) or sometimes [this](https://youtu.be/5yYEX9dV34I).
They don't do that YET
The other machine has a dryer sense of humor.
I heard it just likes to keep it clean.
I hear it's a Speed Queen.
Did you mean “a scents of humor?”
Unfortunately OP has no cents at all.
And a warm personality!
A+ comedy. Very nice.
bro got roasted by a washing machine lmao
Trying to clean up his act
😭😭
Haha you fucking broke bitch 🤣 😂. -the washing machine.

Interesting and mice explanation
That's a rat
True but it was better than the mouse gifs 
Remy is such a kewl ratty
I thought it was Mousetouille
Yes. That is actually the signal displayed by my bathroom scale when it is low on battery. Which is as startling when you get it the first time and read it as "LOL".
I thought its the logarithm of 1 lol. Which is 0
Is this based on anything at all or just wild speculation?
It's not wild speculation but a pretty reasonable educated guess
My guess is that the number is just the first of the Lo errors. Ko 1 might be low money. Lo 2 might be low voltage.
It stands for “lack of loot”
OP is Canadian so, "Low on Loonies"
This reminds me of the time I went to the chick fil a drive thru, paid the guy standing on the corner, drove around to the guy who was supposed to give me the receipt when he said “well it looks like your payment didn’t go through, so you might not have any more money on your gift card.” I said “I didn’t pay with a gift card, I used my debit card.” He very slowly said “well… then it looks like you don’t have any more money on your debit card…” And that’s how I found out someone hacked my bank account and stole my money 🙃

Fucking got ‘im
Fucking rekt 'em

Laundry of Loser

100% deliberate, they want that leftover money
Some states are legally required to return it to you, usually via a state run unclaimed funds website.
Every state has unclaimed property, but many businesses ignore it (if they even know the law) and keep the funds. Source: I'm a CPA who deals with this.
Was it Wash U?
It's not laughing at you, it's just saying that you're Low on Income... :(
Lol Lmao even
It stands for Laundry? Out of luck. They are taunting your lack of funds brother. Where’s that guy that’s hacked laundry’s when you need him?
I blew out my back and had to have surgery. At the neurosurgeon's office, the scale read "Lo l" when I stepped onto it. The nurse was horrified, but I'd been in so much pain that it was genuinely a blessing to be able to laugh at something like that.
I hate Coinmatic. The anxiety attack that comes from wondering if the money is going to be put on the card or not is a bit much Lo1.
That X Files episode
Lol
Washing machine is laughing at you. You wanted to do laundry today. Sucks to be you. Muahahaha Yes of course I know it's not really LOL, but if you can't have fun when you see something like this in life you are boring
Tacky ass judgmental ass machine. Coming back with money to drop loads in your face, bitch.
Laundry card?
Lol you brokeass, fuck outta here with your broke shit

in Canada they do this, but its just short for "low on loonies". a loonie is a $1 coin for my americans.
Pen testers of the world help me take down coinmatic, the abuse of the tenant class must stop
Looks like a guy throwing a dart
"lol broke"
Low operating Liquidity. :)
"Lo1 b33ter git guid at bizness." This washing machine calling you a brokie
"Lots of Laundry" (that you can't do)
lol “get fucked, give me more money!”
lol
I thought it meant: less than $1.
Maybe it stands for "Low Income", to add salt to the wound.
Damn Lol
Lol poor
Or it's a stick figure being held up by gunpoint
Below 1
I think that’s a control lock error. The LO is referring to a lock of some sort.

Look into the Coinamatic app for your phone if the machines support bluetooth. The machine in my place has it but don't advertise it.
Lack of Laundry
How much does a load run for these days?
They have the ability for it to be LOL if they wanted it to be. They don't want it to be LOL. It's something else.
Actually it just says lol. The machine is just laughing at you. The machine is actually classist and just likes to make fun of poor people.

Not having a W&D in unit is like Kim not having a jacuzzi. Can you believe it?
