Cash or Charge?

Today I saw a guy use his credit card to get a pack of gum. Really, I should legally be allowed to plant my foot so deep in his colonic orifice that other feet grow from his ass in the spring. Pull out a dollar bill and pay cash would you!?!

Another incident: I was at Panda Express. For those who don't know, it's a Chinese food place; basically the food is already cooked, you tell them what you want and they package it. Well I was in line longer than usual due to some Rhodes Scholar having to re-run his ATM card 5 times, which included typing his PIN number all 5 times, then signing a piece of paper verifying it. Transactions at an a-la-carte Chinese place shouldn't take longer than a minute. "I'll have some of that and some of that...here's a 5 dollar bill". Get change and get out of there. At the very least fix your friggin' card so it works rather than hold up a line of hungry people.

Ok, rule of thumb: if it takes you more than 10 minutes to get items in 7-11 or a fast food chain, then go somewhere else. I don't have all minute! That's why I'm at a convenience store! haha. But really, I don't understand how when you use ATM cards, slide your card, type your pin, respond whether or not you want cash back, sign a document is seen as convenient.

On that note, Happy Thanksgiving! ;-)
