(11-08-2022, 09:02 AM)The Real Marty Wrote: Wife: "Honey, what did you buy at the Jags game for $13?  It's on our credit card statement."
Me: "A beer."
Wife: "A beer?  Like one single beer?" 
Me: "Yep.  One beer." 
Wife: "Was there anything special about that beer?"  
Me: "No, it was Miller Lite."
Wife: "$13 for one Miller Lite?"
Me: "Yep.  Well, I did tip a dollar."  

That conversation would not have happened if they accepted cash at the Jags games.  My trivial annoyance isn't just the cost of the beer.  It's that I have to have that conversation, and admit that I paid that much money for one single beer.

I always try to pay bar tabs and greens fees with cash so my wife can't track my activities.  It helps maintain plausible deniability. 


In a related observation, has anyone noticed the convenience aspect of customer service has all but vanished for the customer in favor of convenience/profit for the seller/supplier/producer?
