Luckily, he doesn't have to deal with any of that because its separate from my business stuff and non-taxable income.

absolutely. In fact, here, I used to always run in with cash but was on E one day w/o cash so was stuck. plugged the debit card in and BAM. hmmmm. cashola pricing!!!
There is one who offers it near me. They also say they do 'plenti' points. But both times I cashed in my points for $8 off the total fill, they fucked me on it and didn't take it.
The reason I have trust issues is because so many fucking people are either corrupt, incompetent, or both.
Like, for example, the BS I'm going through now trying to find out wtf happened with 10k that got transfered from one 401k to another. Former employer and current 401k are pointing fingers and I'm getting fucking pissed.
I'm nervous to use debit at the pump because of possible card scanners. I have a crap credit card I use for gas.
That's impossible when you know what your stuff costs and have your money ready before you even get to the counter.
If it was so quick and convenient there wouldn't be a line of people glaring and rolling their eyes behind the person messing with a card over a candy bar or a dr. pepper.
The real trick is walking out with stuff like you already paid for it.
They usually stop chasing after 3 or 4 blocks.
That's most likely happening because you live around a collection of impatient assholes.
With a card, I'm tolled and paid faster than most people place their order. It's not the method that slows the line down, it's the fucking people. I've seen dipshits hold up a line at starbucks for 5-8 minutes with their just being self centered. I'm up, order placed, and paid, with a 30-45 second turn around.
If I'm at the cashier for less than a minute continuously and I'm getting eye rolls, the eye rollers can go fuck themselves.
yeah, a card, even with the modern chip bullshit which is way slower than a swipe, is still at least as fast if not faster than making the cashier go through his register and count out your change.

OMG. me=glaring and rolling eyes. 95% of the time.
I figure it's my penance.
All I have to do is walk up behind the shortest line and the speed gets instantly sucked out of whatever was going on. It's fucking rainbows and unicorns until I walk up.
1) trys 4-5 different cards? Multiple times? Is this going in wrong? Solution is always 'let's make this a joyous educational and social event.'
2) No. I'm sure this was $2.39 and not $2.44. Please close customer service and get the entire staff of the store to figure this out. Oh. I'm sure.
3) I forgot something. I'll be right back. to me: I'm sorry, this'll just be a sec. me: great. on your way, pick up a fucking pack of razors and some shave cream. I'll need it when you get back tomorrow morning.
me=
=wonders is this the feeling just before they go 'postal?'
I never really understood people worrying about that stuff. You aren't liable for it, so why does it matter?

Dude if it takes 30 seconds to make change that cashier has some serious mental handicap going. Easily 2, sometimes 3 cash customers turned around during your 30 second transaction. Assuming the cashier isn't a complete idiot or some customer isn't mining the bottom of a giant purse for loose change.
Posted this on Facebook a couple days ago. Sweet global benchmark study on cryptocurrency, for those interested or curious.

They didn't send you the check first?
The former employer moved everyone's 401k (10s of thousands of employees) from one plan to their new plan without any options given. It's pretty shady. If I don't get answers soon I might have to do what I hate and get lawyers involved. Then again, maybe they might find some laws broken that will multiply the damages.
It's in the best interest of my former to get off it's ass and get me some resolution post haste.
Roll that shit over into a self managed IRA using the Lazy Portfolio I posted upthread. Fuck those expensive 401ks once you aren't getting a contribution match.
