| Debit, Credit or Bag? |
Han Solo: "I call it Luck."
Obi-Wan: "In my experience, there is no such thing as luck."
Ok. So I just got back from Wal-Mart. I had to go to the pharmacy to pick up my insulin & needles. I walk up to the lady behind the counter as I have on so many other days, I feel like a practically know everyone there. She goes and gets my supplies brings them to the counter and I pull out my wallet and reach for the plastic. You know the drill -swipe card- hit debit - enter pin - done. Well, the machine and my card weren't getting along. We stood there for a couple of minutes trying to figure out what the deal was and finally I said, "Let me just go to the registers out front and pay for it."
- "Wait. Let me have your card."
-- "What? Why?"
- "Just go with me for a second." (as she grabs a plastic bag) She then procedes to place the card into the bag and pulls the bag tight against the card.
--"What are you doing?"
-"I know it's wierd, but it works." She swipes the card and then "Card reader error" Well Duh. "Hold on." She readjust the bag and swipes again.....SHAZAM! It works! I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it.
Now which is weirder? The fact that it worked or the fact that someone actually figured that out.
Weird. |

That's funny! It makes me think about the first person that saw an egg fall from a chicken and said, "Dare me to eat that?" - Somebody had to try it first.
Love ya,
