No the banks will win because if you were to suddenly go all debit transaction to avoid getting "penny screwed and wallet foolish" then you'd surely blow past the meager limited number of debit transactions you get, unless you fork over the monthly banking fees for the unlimited transaction option. Frankly I can see the banks loving this, expect the banks to start tightening the screws on the monthly transaction limits on your accounts soon or "suggesting" you "upgrade" to an unlimited account.

Right now yes, but if everyone switched to debit, it'd be a nice little cash cow for the banks n'est pas? In fact with the release of the new "sticky" polymer currency, I was joking with my mom on the phone that the government did this and killed the penny, to get everyone hooked on debit / credit as their only choices.

Would be interesting to try that stunt in a store where the item has been planted with an EAS security tag and the alarm goes off at the door. The next stainless steel item you would see would be handcuffs.

You know, I had no breakfast, my lunch early, and was at Costco at 7pm. I did think about the food court while in line, but in the end decided I could have better at home.

Sukunai Premium join:2008-05-07 kudos:1 Reviews: ·ELECTRONICBOX ·TekSavvy DSL	reply to I_H8_Spam The food I eat not made from the food in my fridge is always massively over priced over processed and likely all manner of forms of bad in so many ways. Humans are natural garbage disposals though. Even most of the food in the average home will be full of bad. As for math skills, we get the society we look for. Most of humanity panics the moment the power goes off. What bothers me, is most of my skills are not required while it is on.
