mo problems

[desh]

Has it really been that long since I last posted a pointless poll? My, how time flies like an arrow. And how fruit flies like a banana.

[Poll #942679]

I just bought a CD from The Hold Steady and another from Sufjan Stevens. Ask me in a couple weeks if you want to know how they are.

JITW tomorrow! Whee!

Plastic, but only because I save my cash for the cab, which doesn't take debit. Otherwise, my answer would be 2-4.

Debit cards: Freeing me from the hassle of "No, goddamnit, look, just ring it up. No. [i]Ring it up.[/i] Let the machine do the math. [b][i]Just DO it, register jockey![/i][/b]" since 1999.

Of course, that also leads me to my rant that everyone seems to have decided that "debit card"s are synonymous with "ATM card"s, which has pissed me off since roughly 2001. My card is a [i]debit card.[/i] It [i]debits[/i] an existing pool of money, rather than requesting credit against later payment. But as it is a Visa check card, no PINs and fees and flummery are required. I detest that other people's inability to label things accurately forces me to misrepresent my damn card to be understood.

Honestly? $20.02 because I'd be too lazy to figure out the $0.07. But since that wasn't an option, $20.07.

22.07 is even easier in Canada, since we have the $2 coin, so it's just a 20 and a toonie, nickel, and two pennies.

i almost always pay by debit card, which i love, love, love to bits. if i pay cash, i'd more likely do 20.07 because i can always use the coin change for laundry. if i assess the cashier as being not so swift in the math department, i might even just do 20.02; most can handle that even if they don't have a cash register that calculates the diff for them.

Used to be I'd give him $20.07, but these days, it's $20. I try to maximize my coin change so I can dump it in the coin jug when I get home. There's a vacation in that jug, soon as it's full.

$22. And I appreciate your "in America" caveat. Very nice.

[smarriveurr.livejournal.com]

Oh, and for reference, if I had to pay cash, it'd be $20.07, largely because I prefer to have plenty of ones available.

I'd do the $20 because that means I get singles back for change, which can then be used for the work vending machine.

Why not give 22.08 instead of 22.07?
