My best friends step brothers girlfriend is from holland and is studying to become a doctor. I had a great time discussing how the u.s. could improve nearly everything.
YoungDaphare you gonna be looking at lift op jobs in montana? if you are, big sky is pretty chill about hiring part time and i can put in a good word for ya. I was a lifty for almost 3 winters up here and I really enjoyed it
Good to know big sky does part time. I'll look I to that once I'm up there!
immasGood to know big sky does part time. I'll look I to that once I'm up there!
yea you get a free pass if you're full time and a cheap pass if you're part time but the lift ops boss is really chill and has gotten part timers free passes before
HolySchimmeldidn't really meant the whole system of clinics etc. I was rather talking about structurizing the appointements in a different fashion
HolySchimmelOhh, I meant the patients were there, but no staff arrived till around 8.
There were like 3 other people with appointments at 7.40 and everyone of them was there.
Oh, but that's exactly what you want in the current system.
A doctor's time is more valuable and scarce then your/the patients time.
Having a a staggered line up means the doc can work non-stop. If he has the wait for the patient the hospital loses his valuable time.
milk_manThis weekend wasn't the best.. I got a speeding ticket and my car has been running on 5 cylinders because I need new spark plugs or spark plug wires
How fast were you going and what was the speed limit... be honest
First day of work at a seafood and asian goods store and it's fucking sweet. Only one other employee and he is a year older and smokes pot and snowboards and is chill as fuck, schedule is afternoons and saturdays so I can ride multiple weekdays once winter comes. So stoked.
This. Aha, a solid group of my friends all have birthdays this month, so always stuff going down. Plus the weathers just right to go river tubing, biking, whatever.

the only bummer is weddings, but they can be fun, too-- just depends on what kind of wedding it is.
milk_manI've heard of people doing this. Do they actually let you off because they don't want to go through the trouble of going to court?
na it is because a lot of times they will plead you down to a lesser charge. Or you can get lucky and the cop will not show up and the case will be dismissed. A major reason they give you a lesser charge is because if you get pulled over on a state highway, the state gets the majority of the money. If they plead you to parking on pavement for example, then the local town or county (where ever the court is) will get the moola. All about money per usual
I put all purchases on credit, and then pay my credit cards when I get paid-- that way I get the benefits of credit cards (miles, etc.).
When I stop at a gas station, I always take my card out of my purse, and get out of the car, and start pumping, then take said card inside to get anything else I want (red bull, etc.). I have a gas station about two blocks from my house where I stop everyday. Yesterday I went in and bought a redbull and grandmas cookies. The total was about $4.00. The woman (new employee) at the register asked for my ID! I got super annoyed because I had to go out to my car to get it...who IDs for a 4.00 purchase? I told her "I must not have to sign anything then, because that's the whole point of the signature," she was like "false," even though she doesn't know what she's talking about.
Well then today, it was the same new woman, but another staff person too. The other staff person, who has seen me a million times ID'd me again for a red bull. I asked her if this was some sort of new store policy. She said yes. Ok...I often send my husband down to the store with my card, or my dad will give me his card and have me run to that store to get beer or whatever. I told her this and she told me to get separate cards.
I came home and googled it, and it is literally against the law for them to turn down a transaction if I don't present ID, as long as the card is signed. So wtf...I'm super annoyed. This is my go-to gas station.
Do I....
a.) stfu, stop whining and tote my ID with me every time I go in there, and recognize there will be no errand running with husbands cards.
b.) print out the law and drop it off and throw a stink

Option A.. the minimum wage employee who got 5 minutes of training before starting that job doesn't give two shits about the chick that is too lazy to present an id when she's feeding her sugar addiction...

*caffeine addiction...and its sugar-free redbull. Also, if its against the law to ID, why ID? Sounds to me like just MORE work for that "minimum wage," you know minimum wage in my area is about to be $15.00/hr, right? Also, it isn't about laziness, it is about convenience-- as I said, I sent my husband to the store with my card, and my dad gives me his card a lot, too. So we lose this convenience-- for no reason-- it is a stupid policy that isn't even required.

They'll probably give up in a couple of weeks. That said, I wouldn't miss a chance like this to have an argument...

Visa and MasterCard purposefully choose to have ID not be required, because it may cause a loss of sale. They have chosen to cover fraudulent purchases OVER requiring this inconvenience for their customers. Don't believe me? Go to mastercard.com and visa.com and look into it. In fact, if you're required to have ID, they want you to call into mastercard or visa and report merchant violations.
Cliff notes: it pisses mastercard and visa off, too.
My dog was beat and neglected very badly by his former owners. He's missing teeth and his nose is covered in scars. So now he has terrible separation issues, which is really hard on him. But it's so great to see how excited he is every time I come home, especially when I leave him all day. True love right there.

They can't ask you for your id as long as your signature matches. So if you give your card to your husband and he signs his name or your name differently, they can request his id and decline his purchase.
At the shop I used to work at, we had a sign up that said we ask all customers for an idea for credit or check purchases. Then for credit cards, we were told to ask for an id and if they didn't already have it out or it seemed like a hassle, we would tell them it's fine and just match signatures. Apparently we got around it because we didn't require an ID it was just a preference.

Use cash?
yeah-- see that's what I read. That they can ask, but they can't require it if the card is signed. My signature is basically just an initial-- same with my husbands (same initial) so that has never been a problem.
its just a hassle and its annoying when its the store that we consider our go-to. we even ride our bikes there a lot and I'll just toss my card in my pocket-- now I have to bring my wallet, or have two loose cards.
I understand I'm just being a complainer--but if they aren't required, its kind of a needless hassle for both involved.
I don't use cash because I want the air miles of putting everything on my airlines card. I get twice the points for gas station purchases, too.

basically I haven't been carded for a purchase under $20.00 on a credit card in probably a decade, so its irritating that this is the new illegitimate policy of my closest convenience store.
I don't get carded at Safeway for credit card purchases, and I buy 200.00-300.00 worth of groceries per visit. I didn't even get IDd when I bought a $3700.00 wood stove on my credit card.
Its just first world problems, and I'm bitchy about inconvenience. I get that.
However, I don't like it when people say "you know its for your own security," because even mastercard and visa would rather cover the fraud then possibly lose a sale.
snobunnyis flickr a photo hosting site? yes, I know nothing.
Yes. It's a photo hosting site where people prefer photos of cameras to those taken by the camera. It also has a really annoyingly shit interface and I still haven't figured out how to log in multiple times.
