jefleppard Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 Just start practicing up on your quick draw of your credit card from your wallet! i have but you should have seen the look on the cashier's face at the supermarket when i walked up, shoved a debit card her way and said, "i'll take the j45 in rosewood, please." i think she went for the security button under the til. i'm mean, god, i said please!
