Incredible!
I am fed up of hearing this word over and over again. People use it instead of 'very' now. I'm incredibly tired, for instance. Listen to the news and you will hear it several times.
Why do people need to cheapen words like this? What would they do if something very unusual and difficult to believe really happened?
It's the media's attempt to over-dramatise everything - e.g. nothing ever simply falls these days, it 'plummets'I am fed up of hearing this word over and over again. People use it instead of 'very' now. I'm incredibly tired, for instance. Listen to the news and you will hear it several times.

The new touch screen Mcdonalds.
It's the middle of Winter, I don't want half a pot of ice in my drink, is there an option for no ice? Can I pay cash?
No. Join the queue then.
Well paying cash these days is silly.It's the middle of Winter, I don't want half a pot of ice in my drink, is there an option for no ice? Can I pay cash?
No. Join the queue then.
The screens will be perfectly fine for 90%+ of transactions that they go through and you have the choice of going through the rigmarole of interacting with a human.
I don't see the problem.

I'll add one.
Businesses that don't accept card payment.
In this day and age, every single business should be able to manage, what's more annoying is the 50p charge of not over £x brigade.
Why not just get a percentage based terminal?
Depends entirely on the amounts, type of product and exposure to fraudulent charge backs. In the same way we would never use ebay.Businesses that don't accept card payment.

I guess I mean in retail rather than mail order type affairs as most of those that deal with consumers will accept cards.
Then I agree. Millions go to the card companies because people cannot/will not carry cash. They would if the retailer offered binary pricing.Edited by Stickyfinger on Tuesday 24th January 18:55
