Exactly. I hate those commercials where people are disgraced for daring to use cash for a transaction. Fuck corporate America.

Cantankerous 02.13.2008 05:51 PM

!@#$%! 02.13.2008 05:52 PM

Powdered sugar?

This is how insidious is the pressure to convert from paper, though. I did a stupid thing this week. Somebody gave me a Starbucks gift card for my birthday. In no time I used up the alotted funds, and my wife reminded me, "Hey, you know you can reload that." So what do I run and do? Yep, took out the debit card and transferred funds to the Starbucks card. Like what kind of mindless idiot have I turned into? I guess the only good thing is I now know that 20 bucks of our funds is COMMITTED to Starbucks purchases only.

Cantankerous 02.13.2008 06:54 PM

uh i spend $20 at starbucks in like a day and a half.

gmku 02.13.2008 06:57 PM

SO let's see. Roughly that's 20 days x 20 bucks equals 400 bucks a month.

Jesus. Not that I couldn't. But then that would mean I wouldn't have money for things, like, oh, the electric bill. And LPs.

ahha.

They make it really easy for us Sbux baristas tho, cos we dont have to wait while you look for a cc/cash/change to pay. :P

gmku 02.13.2008 07:00 PM

yeah, because cash really slows everything down, just like they say in those credit card commercials.

You work at Starbucks and they won't accomodate you for an art class! Those fuckers. I might have to start taking my coffee business elsewhere.

Cantankerous 02.13.2008 07:03 PM

i have the funds, worry not. you'd be appalled at the amount of money i spend on clothes, cigarettes, and alcohol. food is marginal.

m1rr0r dash 02.14.2008 02:54 AM

utility bills --> penises --> cash money --> cocaine --> i drink an awful lot of coffee.


genius!
