   To her credit, she did not fully lose her shit, but telling the clerk, "Y'all gotta get better internet, cause you're losing money" is not helpful given that he has zero control over who the company chooses for their internet provider.

     @cafechatnoir time to pull out the old carbon paper credit card imprint machine!

     Which of course wouldn't work on fully half of cards today that aren't embossed, and would be a great way to scream "defraud me, I'm easy!"

     Oh, y'all, we gotta re-normalize carrying cash when you're out and about.

     Not a ton, but enough for like, 1/2 tank of gas, lunch order, that type of thing.

     Otherwise you're gonna be like the lady in front of me at the gas station who was trying really hard not to lose her shit over the fact that the internet was down and they couldn't take credit/debit cards.

     (And yeah, I realize the "emergency $20" is more like an "emergency $50" these days.)
