Coming from the pub Bozo?

I pay a $6 toll everyday on the way home from work. When I get in the car in the morning, I put the $6 in my visor. It's even better when the lazy asses already waited on line and couldn't get the money out then. People are RUDE!

you need to get EZPASS.... despite your fears of speeding tix.

My family thinks I'm nuts with this EZPass issue I seem to have.

I rarely use ATM's. I keep enough cash out of each paycheck to take care of my cash needs 'till the next payday. But when I do it still only takes me 30 seconds.

On the rare instances when I do use one I almost always get behind one of those people that take 5 minutes to complete such a simple transaction. They wait until they get to the machine to dig out their card even though they were waiting behind two other cars. They are slowed even more by the conversation they're having with their friend in the passenger seat, probably trying to decide how much money they need to get. They always seem to have to figure out which way to put the card in, sometimes trying several ways before they get it right. Then they have to read every instruction twice, pondering which button to push. When they finally get finished with the machine they have to review their recipt and put everything away before they pull forward.

And don't even get me started on the drive through bank lines!

Some people just don't realize there are other people in the world.

OMG...Dont even get me started on that...What about waiting for a parking space? Logically you find the guy/gal with the reverse lights on, but NOOOOO...Just because the reverse lights are on doesnt mean a friggin' thing! I think Ill just sit here and discuss politics while Im in reverse, just to see people's reactions...Hmmm....

[QUOTE=bozo]YES! YES! YES! But you know what? I did that just the other day, and the cashier aborted the swipe, because she said Im not supposed to swipe before the total is "rung" up.

So I had to start over again anyway for whatever reason...

When was the last time you swiped your debit card.

It's chip & pin now

your card slots into the keypad.

Although mind you now they have changed over to chip & Pin it takes ages to complete a transaction not Tesco's though they zap your card super quick as do Next.

You don't need to do ATM just do cash back when making a purchase.

Chip and Pin...Funny you should mention that...If you have a UK bank, THEN you have chip and pin..I can use debit anywhere on the base, but if Im at Tesco or anywhere else and try to do it - no dice...Which is why I never use my card here, because when the people behind me in line see that I have to wait for a receipt to sign, I get all the lemon about "whats taking so long, etc.."And you're right, the chip and pin process seems to take longer anyway in many cases...Except for Tesco's as you say...Sainsbury's self check-out seems to work well also...
