According to the CDC 128,000 people in the Unitied States are hospitalized each year from food borne illness. While you may only spend a day or two near a bathroom and the washing machine, immunocompromised people as well as children and the elderly do face serious illness. It must be nice to be so young and healthy that you sport such a cavalier attitude. Tell me are you the guy ahead of me in line that doesn’t wash his hands after he uses the toilet...or at best gives them a quick pass under tepid water without soap?
You may think me a germophobe.... so be it.
>>Tell me are you the guy ahead of me in line that doesn’t wash his hands after he uses the toilet...or at best gives them a quick pass under tepid water without soap?
Yep...that’s me. I only use one square of toilet paper too (to clean under my fingernails).
lol... maybe you live in Venezuela :)
People under 50 might not remember this. But there used to be a time when if you wanted to draw cash from a bank account, you had to show up at the bank during their office hours. Usually 10 am to about 3:30 pm - this is where we got the term "bankers hours".
Once there, you had to fill out a withdrawal slip with a pen chained to a table. Hopefully you knew your account number because you had to fill that in. If you had a savings account, you usually had to have a passbook with you that it could get stamped with the amount of withdrawal and current account balance.
Once the paperwork was filled out, you had to get in a line and wait your turn. It was usually a long line. Think Registry of Motor Vehicles. And once you got to the front, if your paperwork wasn't completely in order, you got turned away so you could fix it and then you had to go back to the back of the line.
So you see, ATM's are a very under appreciated invention.
I worked at at bank. It cost about $8 to have a teller transaction. It costs about a buck a transaction for an ATM. Web transactions cost about $0.15.
And the machines make a lot fewer mistakes.
And the machines work all day and night.
We do have a lot of good places to eat in Pennsylvania. But there are times that you only want to take the time for a quick sammich and a gas station is a logical stop for someone in a hurry.
-— But nobody surpasses the customer service at In-N-Out and Chick-fil-A. Their hiring is phenomenal. -—
I’ve found that the places where I receive attentive service, like Trader Joes, are companies with significant profit-sharing programs. I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case with Chic-fil-a.
It’s a winning business strategy.
I’m sorry to hear that; a programmer friend of mine is working as an airport screener while the tech companies pretend we have a shortage...
