They used Fiats in that movie.

Not sure why it is, but the readers I use where you can just tap or lay the card simply process the payment without giving a cash back option.

14 years ago we lived in London for the summer.

We were absolutely, roundly and repeatedly roasted by local hoteliers, publicans, chemists, restaurateurs, vendors and cashiers of every kind because our crappy American credit cards had no chips. Only strips.

Both articles very interesting - maybe it isn't "the economy" and big brands have just failed to provide the value to consumer as they continue to hike prices, I still have no idea why Discovery bought WB unless it was just to kill off every thing they had for TrueTV.

 

Take a gander at McDonalds prices and you'll know instantly what the problem is.

Oh, and it's shit food.

 

Reminds me of some political journalism...

Two words:

Lowest bidder.

 

I do government work and we have to get three bids for everything over a certain dollar amount.
