I shall again donate as soon as PP is gone. They want my phone number. Why?

Ive kicked paypal out of my house. I forced my landlord to use Zelle for rent payments now….

I found that Walmart carries 22LR ammunition in many brands and grain configurations. I found that they were the cheapest in comparison with other vendors and I was able to pay in cash.

We do that, stillwater. A never-ending supply. I’m sure we can find beaucoup creative ways to use it as well.

So you would prefer to be defending a vote cast for obama?

No. I voted for them as well and, while I deeply regret that vote to the point I’d like to see Romney/Ryan in jail for treason, I still think voting for them was better than voting for the Kenyan criminal. If I had known then what I know now, I would simply have written someone else in. Futile, I know, but it would have proven I valued my voting privilege while also showing my contempt for both official contenders.

That makes two of us. No choice though. He was the lesser of two evils.

The nomination was stolen from Ron Paul. His name was virtually blacked out of the media, or smeared, as when Hannity called Ron Paul supporters “terrorists”. Votes were flipped from Dr Paul to Rombama, and when he came in second in a primary the media would only announce the first and third winners. Ron Paul very probably won the Iowa caucuses. Dr Paul had rallies in the thousands while Rombama couldn’t fill a gym.

it was 🙂

yup 🙂

I have fought for a penny at Walmart too! I won’t allow them to check my cart as I leave the store most times either. I stand on principle. If the door monitor attempts to stop me I request a manager be present before I’ll hand over my receipt or just flat out walk by with a “no, thank you.” Depends on how much time I want to waste. I won’t spend my money to be treated like a criminal.

You know…throw sand into the machinery…

Walmart has this area that has a big sign above it “CLEARANCE”. Some of the items are marked, some are not marked. When they are not marked, I have often found that they ring up as regular price, even when the box or item is marked with a clearance price. So, I don’t give up, go and get supervisors, etc.

Children s defense fund promotes abortion under the bizarre title of reproductive justice.
Think about it? Is there justice for the child in the womb?
I’d say just pray about it.
but if you are pro abortion then sorry, despite sharing some conservative views, we have NOTHING in common. Our goals are different, our existential views are radically different.

You are dating yourself! But what a memory!

Near me somewhere close to a cornfield, high a top a huge light post…sits one of the ‘Blues Mobiles’, from the Blues Brothers…one really tacky movie….

Great story! Herman’s Hermits are still touring!

Only if he has a humongous backyard. Lots of good people in Bakersfield and that area he represents.

$$$$$$
Good thing it’s not on my bucket list.

Better if we were fire ants!

Kroger corp self checks do that to me as well (steal pennies), I try to have enough change on me to give exact change, or at least enough pennies to force it to spit out silver to me.

I try to use only cash as much as possible since after looking thru my credit card statements for accepting credit cards.

I found it to be OUTRAGEOUS at the charges they pass off to me for some peoples rewards card programs, one instance being 8% and I never accepted Amex as it would have been 2% more for anything.

While I have been using Square now for almost 4 years, just found out from a customer why Square declined his card, he called his issuer to complain….. they do not allow the use of his bankcard to make Square (ie small business) purchases. There must surely be others too, as from time to time it does decline someones card which customers say they have enough money in, but their issuer may just not do business with Square.

BTW I gave him the pizza anyway while it was hot & fresh…. he came back later with cash and a big tip and told me his story about his issuer not doing business with Square. He was not a happy camper, makes me wonder if he still does business with the card issuer, as I recall it was ADvant or some other such issuer starting with AD.

Guess it does not pay them enough to skim off their required profit money.

Cash discounts VS credit cards were banned in a lot of states (because of gas stations mainly) the first time prices doubled under …. Carter if memory serves. Those laws may or may not have been repealed depending on the state.

Debit charges are also different if you are big enough volume, last I knew it was a quarter for a debit transaction for any amount, credit cards are a percentage of sale.

I for one will not deposit cash just to force a merchant to pay the fee for the convenience of me using a credit / debit card.

About 75-80 percent of my customers use plastic money.

Use any cash you have or get from your banks ATM first before plastic money especially for small business, up until I got Square, plastic money raises the price by about 10%, with Square it is negligible with a fixed percentage and swipe fee.

I do stuff like that too. I remember going after my former car insurance company for about 2 dollars they told me they were going to take out of my account after I terminated bz w/them. I had asked them what my final bill was, they told me, I paid it, and then they came back for more. I told them it wasn’t happening and I won the standoff.

I did the same w/Sprint over a $40 final bill after I had already paid the final bill they gave me. I told them in no uncertain terms to find a promo code credit and apply it to this $40 to take the account to zero, because we were already DONE.

Every time I have to call CommieCast I tell them up front I am charging them $15 for every 15 minute increment, or portion thereof, that they keep me on the phone to fix a recurring problem that should never have occurred in the 1st place. I get it every time too. Even if I have to go to the top of the food chain.

I REFUSE to do self scan. If a store lets me stand in line too long I leave the cart at the service desk and tell them why I am leaving. 25 registers and no one home… The day will probably come when it’s self-scan only and then I guess I’ll just order everything for delivery.

I avoid fast foods like the plague. It isn’t fast and it isn’t food. Occasionally late and tired I’ll go to one and often find the doors locked for (allegedly) lack of staff. Sit 20 minutes in a drive thru or do without.

Sigh.

No, you are not paranoid, the scan catalogs all the information off your card for someones use and certainly not for merchant use.

I am sure it is much like Square does, they want to sell the information back to me to advertise to my own customers, Square no longer even shows the last 4 digits of customers phone number any longer that I could compare to my phone logs.

Had an alcohol class when those license scanners came out and was warned by the state ATF agent giving the class to beware because the fake Chinese licenses will pass the scan tests. That kinda makes the scanner a useless purchase except to harvest information for someone else to use or sell.
