        It costs money and unless the card companies and/or the government require it it's not going to happen. - spamlet Jul 28, 10:11 1
        
        Your IM costs money too, which is what could tip the scales eventually. -- nm - ty97 Jul 28, 10:12
        
        Next you'll suggest we should have public transit options, a woman on our money, and extraneous vowels. -- nm - ty97 Jul 28, 10:09 6

    - I would say that less than 10% of the places we eat a lot have them. -- nm - David Jul 28, 10:06
  - They just scream "super lazy customer service" to me -- nm - Strongbad Jul 28, 10:05 7
    - (We can't hire good enough staff, so we're making you do some of the work) -- nm - Strongbad Jul 28, 10:06 5
      - It's not that they can't hire good staff, they just don't want to spend the money to do so. -- nm - znufrii, dad. Jul 28, 10:11
      - I see it as the smart kind of automation. -- nm - David Jul 28, 10:07 3

  - I was under the impression that AMA meant AMA (not that they would necessarily answer of course) - ty97 Jul 28, 10:03 3
    - Is there much functional difference between a mod deleting the question and it just being ignored? - spamlet Jul 28, 10:07 2
      - There's a difference between the mods censoring the AMA and the person not answering. That the questions were immediately deleted is wrong. How - Krusty Jul 28, 10:23

    - rare? - Strongbad Jul 28, 10:11 9
      - I find his speaking style uninspiring at times but when he's ON he rivals Bubba in ability to hold an audience in rapt attention. Still the best - Mel Profit Jul 28, 10:19

        I loved the lil hitch in his voice when he said that no one was more qualified, "not me, not Bill..." - Mel Profit Jul 28, 10:22 2
