Pet peeves

Is it unreasonable, in 2016, to expect that everyone would know how to use the credit-card swiper at the supermarket?

Also, to paraphrase Bill Burr, no, I don't want your savey-save, fucky-fuck card, you can't have my phone number, I don't want to save stamps for stupid Cuisinart knife set, I don't want a billion emails a week about your "specials," and I don't want whatever the guy camped out next to the exit is selling. I just want to buy my shit and go home.

(Sorry, I've spent a lot of time at the supermarket lately.)

 

At Office Depot yesterday, they made me use the new chip insert and wouldn't let me swipe.

 

Not sure if this has been discussed in the past nine pages, or if it's just me: People who drive across the lanes in empty parking lots. Are you in that much of a rush to the point where you have to scream across the lanes, potentially causing an accident by crashing into someone who is doing it the right way? Silly, I'm sure, but just a major pet peeve.

 

The savey-save fucky-fuck card at my grocery store saves me a decent amount. I enjoy saving money.

 

But it's empty.

 

Where do you find drivers who go 5 to 10 mph under the speed limit on the highway? That's pretty rare in my parts.

 

When stores hit you up a checkout with, "Do you want to donate $1 toward ending cancer, feeding the homeless and giving every woman over 50 free botox?"

I litterally will give a homeless guy on the street $10, but I won't put up with extortion from retail places.

 

2 huge pet peeves;

Being lied to.

Tardiness........I subscribe to the Vince Lombardi rule.......If you're 10 minutes early, you're on time........if you're on time, you're 10 minutes late, don't even bother showing up.

 

I hope you tell him not to litteral, too.

 

I am trying to clear out some excess 't's clogging up my laptop.

 

I "save" no more than about $5-10 per trip. In exchange for letting the store track every single thing I buy and when, so it can make that money back by jacking up the prices of other things.

 

The stores now have to have you use the chip in order to avoid liability from data breaches.
