Andrew got his wallet returned

[2006Coltsbestever]

If a Football is signed to a name like Charles for example, you can still sell it an Ebay for 1000's of dollars because there are 1000 other Charles names in the world LOL. Plus you have Andrew's autograph. That is like with any name.

 

That would be like, well you signed it to Mike so you messed up. Nope because there are 100000's Mike's in the world like Charles's. Another rich Charles would probably buy that for 10,000 right now

Yeah, that cashlessness is such a scam.  Some bank somewhere collects a nickle every time there is a transaction, whereas in the good ol days merchants and customers could pass bills back and forth 100s of times without some banker/tech processor getting a nickle for every touch.  What a scam.

 

Luck acknowledged that the person going out of their way it made his life easier, hopefully he conformed to whatever the lost wallet etiquette is these days.  Maybe its just a card.

 

Yeah that person who collects on those transactions is getting rich, I'll grant you that.

 

But on the other hand cards make it easier.  Andrew loses his wallet without the cards he possibly loses whatever money he has in it.  

 

If you lose your wallet and you just have a card in it.  You call and put a freeze on the card and you've lost nothing in terms of cash.  The worst part is going and replacing those things which is mostly hassle.  

 

Plus it makes the transactions faster.

But if you have a name like mine.  "Kirk" you are kinda screwed.

 

Honestly I'd have a hard time parting with something like that.  It was a gift directly from Andrew to him and selling a gift like that just feels wrong.

That's great. I have a football signed by Manning and 7 other players from the super bowl year. Vinatieri, Rhodes, Hayden, Sanders, Clark, Diem and June and the others who signed my football.

 

Nice!  I also have a hat signed by Luck from his first training camp.

Most people are pretty good folks.   I've lost a wallet and phone a few times over the past couple years.  Each time I was called and got it back.

I heard some dirpity derps on ESPN radio playing sports Tinder swipe left or swipe right and they were both complaining about how Luck didn't give him a better gift.  I would be ecstatic he acknowledged and thanked me for it with a signed ball and letter.  How many athletes wouldn't do a ####2)@#( thing if you gave them their Wallet back?  Plenty of them wouldn't.

There are some athlete's that would've just said thank you in a letter and given nothing. I would be happy as heck if Luck gave me an autographed Football. What are those fools smoking

Yeah I had to google it but it apparently was Spain and Fitz ESPN radio.  Who are these people you may ask?  I have no idea because I had to google them,   but it appears that many people in particular think Spain is garbage.

I bet a big majority of them would.   I would bet the typical gift is game tickets or something like that.

Captain Kirk

 

 

Actually his LAST name was Kirk.  I believe it's actually more common as a last name then a first name.

 

There are a few Kirk's out there but it's not a terribly common name.  

 

My own grandmother called me Kurt from the day I was born til the day she died when I was 34 years old.  She had 16 grandchildren and I wasn't a favorite.  So I suppose my name wasn't all that important, I suppose I'm lucky that I wasn't called "Grandchild #10". 

 

My favorite aunt even yelled at her once for calling me Kurt but it didn't change anything.  (One of the reasons she's my favorite aunt is because she'd do things like yell at her own mom for not getting my name right.)

 

But anyways I'm totes over that!

I'm 41 and about 99% of the time have zero cash on me.  So yeah I'd pay for a polar pop with my debit card if I was buying one.

I highly doubt that.  It's more likely going towards paying employee salaries.

Its a matter of subjectivity.  I put things on credit cards with a chip.  Just as fast as anything.  But I get 25 days to pay.  That concept has been around for decades.  The transaction fees the merchant pays to the card company is for the infrastructure and the time needed to float the credit for 25 days "free" to the customer.  I may pay higher prices because the merchant passes on the fee to everybody, but I'm also getting a 25 day loan.  A loan isn't ever free you know, even the 0% loans. 

 

With the debit or the phone, I'm paying a fee for the ability to stand there for whatever less time it takes for the system to process the transaction compared to the cashier making change.  There is now a fee for each immediate payment where with cash exchange there was none, for a savings of about 3 seconds.

 

Either way I pay a fee for the electronic payment.  Personally, I'd just as soon get 25 days to pay for it, plus bonus points, than whatever my benefit is by using a debit card or a device over a credit card.

If stores had different prices for cash/check purchases then they did card purchases then a lot more people would probably do cash/check.  

 

But as you say they pass the price onto everyone.  So from my prospective, no reason not to use the card.  It's not like my rebellion is going to change other people.  

 

I'm guessing the reason they don't put different prices on it is because for one reason or another they have determined that the cards are also better for them.  

 

I do have a small grocery store near my house though that requires that you buy $5 or more to purchase on a card.  I don't go to that store very often.  Not because of that policy but because it's the only grocery store in a tiny town and everything costs twice as much there.
