I couldn't use a corporate card this morning at trader joe's because I didn't have its pin. - b. Jan 13, 13:08 31
- HA! (Not laughing at you per se) but I've been training my customers to learn thier pins -- nm - Remlik Jan 13, 13:29
- I have not come across a pin anywhere (in fact it would be a problem since I don't have pins). I asked my card provider about it and they said - pmb Jan 13, 13:24 7
  - Did you select debit maybe? -- nm - Ender Jan 13, 13:43
  - They don't use the PIN at all in the US. I set mine to go to Ireland and Spain and used it in train kiosks only. - spamlet Jan 13, 13:35
  - yah, see my post below - most u.s. cards are chip and sign. -- nm - b. Jan 13, 13:28
  - That is correct. There's two type of chip cards. Chip and sign. Chip and pin -- nm - JD Jan 13, 13:25
  - I know I have a pin on one of my cards that just got a chip, god only knows what it is, though -- nm - znufrii Jan 13, 13:25 2
    - when you figure it out, post it here and we'll remember for you -- nm* - decline Jan 13, 13:25
    - (I've never been asked for it) -- nm - znufrii Jan 13, 13:25
- it's just new for you guys. we have pins for everything, no-one writes it on the card. - Andie Jan 13, 13:09 21
  - I meant for corporate card use, which is usually less frequent for most users. if it was personal, sure. -- nm - b. Jan 13, 13:19 4
    - our corporate cards are kept in a lockbox. we do keep a post it with PINS on each of them, in case someone new needs to use it. - Andie Jan 13, 13:20 3
      - ah, we have personally kept cards - I have three, most people have one or two. -- nm - b. Jan 13, 13:25 2
        
        lots of people use the numbers (for travel etc), but we keep the cards themselves locked. -- (edited) - Andie Jan 13, 13:26 1
        
        we're way too big a company to do that. it's every holder for his/herself. :) - -- nm - b. Jan 13, 13:31
  - okay, proud canadian. slow your card roll -- nm - slipping jimmy Jan 13, 13:14
  - How do you pay at a restaurant? Our Target card is the new chip one. I hate it more than I thought I would. - JaxSean Jan 13, 13:12 12
    - most personal cards here don't even have pins for purchases for cards. I actually called chase about it, and the sapphire person was amused at me - b. Jan 13, 13:22 8
      - The only big issuer I know of that does PINs in the US is Barclays. - spamlet Jan 13, 13:37 1
        
        yah, I remember you mentioning that before. - b. Jan 13, 13:46
      - I think they'll have to have both until the major transition happens. - JaxSean Jan 13, 13:33 3
        
        I don't mean having the swipe available, I mean having it work for chip cards when there is a chip slot available. - b. Jan 13, 13:38 2
        
        depends on whether or not the merchant has enabled the chip port. -- nm - znufrii Jan 13, 13:39 1
        
        well sure? that wasn't in question. -- nm - b. Jan 13, 13:48
      - Yep, I called Citi Amex and was told I'd get it when this one expired - in November. - Meg Jan 13, 13:32 1
        
        Discover only sent a chipped one to me in the past month or so. - b. Jan 13, 13:36
    - For pretty much the rest of the world that uses chip and pin, there are portable readers that are indeed brought to the table - JD Jan 13, 13:16
    - they bring the machine to the table. you use your card there. you never hand over your card, they leave the machine, you pay. -- (edited) - Andie Jan 13, 13:15 1
      - Cool. Thanks. - JaxSean Jan 13, 13:21
  - Flash (tap) - like this! -- (link) - Andie Jan 13, 13:11 [youtube] 1
    - Flash tap rules. I'm mostly annoyed if I have to enter my pin due to older machines. -- nm - Shaun Jan 13, 13:15

- Okay, but who the hell ARE all these people that watch NCIS? -- nm - emoticripple Jan 13, 13:04

It could have been worse. Disney Springs was originally going to be called Hyperion Wharf after the revamp. -- nm - Jovian Jan 13, 12:45 7
- I would actually like to know why they think it needed to be rebranded. - JaxSean Jan 13, 12:49 6
  - Apparently it's changed multiple times (this is the 4th rebranding / 5th name, according to Wiki). - JaxSean Jan 13, 13:53
  - Is everything still there, HoB? -- nm - J Jan 13, 12:52 1
    - Yup. They are adding a bunch of huge parking structures currently, but otherwise, pretty much the same. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 13, 12:55
  - I agree 1000% - Jovian Jan 13, 12:52 2
    - The *place* is still there. It's just geared towards a "family environment" - which is anything but at 11 PM - JaxSean Jan 13, 13:10

Pederson is going to end up as HC for the Eagles - decline Jan 13, 12:38
Every time Obama talks about gun safety, his numbers drop. - David Jan 13, 12:32 26
- sure, because it looks like he is talking about catching the Boogeyman. -- nm - groiny Jan 13, 12:43 16
  - except unlike the boogeyman, gun violence is a real problem -- nm - znufrii Jan 13, 13:06 15
    - sure, but nothing that he has done, through no fault of his, on his watch, has done anything to solve the problem. - groiny Jan 13, 13:08 13
      - For the most part, nothing has been able to be done. - Will Hunting Jan 13, 13:12 2
        
        right, that was my point, he can't just snap his fingers and get shit done. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 13, 13:17 1
        
        what's galling is that the majority of NRA members agree on things like Universal Background Checks... - Mel Profit Jan 13, 13:31
      - he hasn't really done anything, himself - slipping jimmy Jan 13, 13:11 1
        
        he did try to pass something through a few years back and got shot down in congress. - groiny Jan 13, 13:15
      - the biggest problem is that there is no one magic bullet (pun intended) to solve the issue - znufrii Jan 13, 13:10 7
        
        I would gladly register my firearms tomorrow if that became an option. - groiny Jan 13, 13:14 6
        
        both of those very good suggestions prove my point, because neither addresses every part of the issue. - znufrii Jan 13, 13:22
        
        There are many possible actions and I can promise there is no one satisfactory "solution" to the problem. That doesn't mean we can't make it better. - pmb Jan 13, 13:22 4
        
        I do not disagree, but my main issue is MOST of the discussions involve the law abiding gun owners - groiny Jan 13, 13:28 3
        
        For the types of gun violence you're most concerned about - basically, inner city gang violence - this is true. - Roger More Jan 13, 13:48
        
        I don't really understand the argument that it focuses on law abiding gun owners. Most of the focus is really just on making sure that gun owners - pmb Jan 13, 13:43
        
        If you're a member of the NRA you should tell them the last paragraph. -- nm* - Mel Profit Jan 13, 13:32
    - with a few things that could make it better. - Mel Profit Jan 13, 13:07
- *sigh* -- nm - znufrii Jan 13, 12:37
- And it makes no difference how generally agreed the public is on the actual suggestions he's making. -- nm - pmb Jan 13, 12:34 1
  - it's been a 40 year road getting to this point. reversing that isn't going to happen in 4 years or 8 - slipping jimmy Jan 13, 12:43
- America really likes their guns. -- nm - CQ Jan 13, 12:34 3
  - Fuck first graders -- nm - ty97 Jan 13, 13:02 2

- The numbers are dropping? It's working! -- nm - JaxSean Jan 13, 12:33

- was anyone saying she didn't have that right? - znufrii Jan 13, 12:28 5
  - She had to get something for her 15 minutes of fame, no one was inviting her onto their talk show. - nic to be named later Jan 13, 12:47
  - Those are "¯\_(ツ)_/¯ what can you do?" words anyway -- nm - Roger More Jan 13, 12:36
  - Yes. Some commentators were arguing that anyone who self-righteously exempts themselves from obligations imposed under federal law ... - ReluctantCynic Jan 13, 12:32 2
    - well, that's just silly. Also silly: giving your ticket to an organization without knowing who's going to end up using it... -- (link) - znufrii Jan 13, 12:36
