That's funny, though I also think your threads give a hint to why you have a gut, yet you work out - too much large cokes, easy on the ice. :p

LordMaul... most of the time I'm in agreement with you, actually 99% of the time.
But this time I've gotta say, you're going above and beyond the call of the fat computer geek duty.
Stop trying to prove a point and just take the 1 second to pull the speedpass out and do it the traditional way. The people you're confusing have no say whatsoever to change the system, all you're doing is making it take longer for the person behind you to get their food and leave. The point you're making is lost and dismissed forever on the person taking your order.

Er, I'm protesting?

News to me.

I'm just looking for new, possible ways to make a Speedpass more fun than a block of plastic on the bottom of your keychain.


And besides, this wasn't the only register open and no one was behind me. :)

Maybe so, but it's still a protest. You're making the cashier take more time then he's supposed to in dealing with you. In your specific instance it's no hassle, but in an instance where there are other people behind ou it presents a problem. What happens next time? You've already passed the circumstance where it's just you and the cashier... what about next time when there's someone behind you? Now you've just made it easier for yourself to disrupt a whole restaurant. I've been there before, and if you honestly think about what it's going to prove you'll realize it'll prove nothing. If you want to have some real and tangible fun, next time ask to speak to a manager first ;)

Protest? "disrupt a whole restaurant"?

Chill out, ashcroft!

There needs to be more people like LordMaul to brighten up our often dreary days.

The whole world is a stage, and I say "great Performance...Bravo!"




:D

Similar story: We have ID sensors on all the doors at work. You swipe your ID badge, and they unlock the door. Well, our ID badges are credit-card sized, so everyone keeps them in their wallet.... and you know, most people keep their wallet in their back pocket... so yep, half the people in the office go around rubbing their asses against the sensors when they want to get in a door. It's really pretty disturbing - visitors to the building must assume the door has some sort of special ass-ID sensor.

My dad's office is the same but the sensors are too high so you see people not only wave their butts at the sensor but jump and wave their butts at the sensor.

Thanks! ;)

Well, it didn't exactly 'slap' on the counter, since there isn't quite enough of it to actually do that, but I was able to pull it away from me enough to reach the receiver and rub it across the top of it. :D
