    19th but that's a Saturday this year so the day off is Friday (today) if businesses can swing it on such short notice. The USPS could not so they are open both today and tomorrow. Don't know about other businesses.

    We don't technically have the day off but all meetings were cancelled so we can have a day of "learning and reflection". I think I'm going to reflect while on a MTB ride.

    Rolled through the drive in coffee shop this morning to get some joe and a breakfast sammy. Get the goods then give the guy at the window my card. Had the following convo:
    him: "Sir do you have another card?"
    me: "no. why?"
    him: "because my machine is having a hard time reading your card."
    me:".................."
    him: "Do you have any cash?"
    me: "no."
    him: "So.........."
    me: "So what?"
    him: "So since my machine can't read your card, I am going to need the coffee and sandwich back."
    me: "Are you serious?"
    him: "Yes."

    Handed the shit back, drove to Starbucks, no issues. Fucking annoying.

    I don't get it at all. They're annoying as hell, they terrify my dogs to no end, and we're in a historically bad drought year. Can't we just do a laser show instead? Way more fun, safer, cooler visuals while tripping.

    I wouldn't be so sure given the way that situation was handled.

    Did you both forget that the number can be keyed in by hand?

    I have literally had a clerk tell me "we don't do that here" (different store), so I didn't even ask. Also fucking annoying.

    This is how fast food workers in America eat. Maybe he liked Seano’s meal and figured this was a good way to bogard it.

    The merchants do get charged a higher processing fee for hand keyed transactions, so its possible they would decide not to. Annoying all around.

    Because freedumb. And because that how it's always been done and there's clearly no better way to do it. Seriously, this place will burn to the fucking ground from the Wasatch to the Oquirrhs before the hardliners give up shooting burning stuff over a tinder box. Cancel culture isn't gonna get muh fireworks!

    I’m currently working on an analysis for a surgery center. We get revenue figures and I’m like, holy shit this place makes money, what are you write offs/ adjustments? 92 fucking percent. If you’re the poor bastard who doesn’t have insurance they are going to invoice you 12 times what they would charge others.

    I thought it was funny, but AK’s post made me hope it went into the trash, or maybe the staff, and not the next sucker that ordered the same thing.

    Edit: I see I’m not the only one that thought along those lines. Gotta be fast here.

    That wasn’t the Flying Star, was it seano?
