What place is worthy of Episode V

Yea...This is true. Some random Indian dude explained the process to me during our transaction. Every time they swipe a card, they are charged a certain fee from the company they use to process debit/credit transactions. That fee is charged whether or not the transaction is completed. Therefore, you walk in there, swipe your card for five dollars worth of soda and chips, and you're card gets declined because you're a shitbag with no money, that store owner still gets charged for swiping that card.

Similarly, if you only buy a fifty cent bag of crackers that they're making a 20 cent profit off of, and the debit/credit transaction fee is 25 cents, they're losing five cents by selling you that bag of crackers via debit/credit.

I have no idea why that dude told me that though.

You see....that's freaking crazy. I could understand why someone would want to avoid that kind of loss.

Damn those shitbags.

I'm leaving on walkabout now. I can't take the good camera though. We'll have to settle for a LoFi episode.

Hey! Did you ever make it to Pizza Glen?

And they charge you interchange fees, and more for debit, and processing fees, and then they charge you for emailing you a statement, then they automatically renew your contract yearly. Use the service after its up and they have you on the hook for another year. And they charge you a fee for collecting the other fees...

Hey man...it was a two minute convenience store transaction. He didn't have time to explain all of that to me.

All those charges really suck though....any way they can leech another penny off of you though, I guess they will.

the card processing biz sounds kinda mafioso

also, Pizza Glen doesn't take cards LMAO

Straight loss. And they just made it where you can add 3percent on a card to cover it but customers dont like it.


I usually only do that on a big ticket, I put a motor in last week and told the guy he would have to pay the fee or figure out another payment method.

7 grand job and would have cost me a couple hundred give or take...**** that

LMAO I only spent thirty seconds typing that up. Slacker

Pass on the cost to the consumer....that's the way of the big business companies!

Good on you for not wanting to do it normally.

Exactly.

They make it really hard for small businesses to survive.

Worst transaction ever was when one of the guys accidentally put in 5000 instead of 500 then refunded it immediately. That minute. The money never changed hands since it batches at midnight. Since he did a refund rather than a void I had to pay the fees on 5 grand AND on 500.


I lost my shit over that one, not at the employee he didn't know hell I would have never guessed, but at the company.they wouldn't budge either, had been with them for 5 years. THEN I tried to cancel services since I had originally signed a 5year contract, it had been up the mont prior. That's when I learned they dont let you go no contract they just automatically renew it for a year. VERY fine print there. Had a new provider in the next week and they got their monthly fees for the next 11months and got booted.


They actually called me then and offered a good deal and I told them that they should have offered that first off and they could gon**** themselves, sent them a picture of my newborn playing with their equipment

Gay Day With Clay IV: Pizza Adventure!
 

You know, I actually have a friend on Facebook that posted something from his bank account. Apparently, his bank charged him a fee for using his card too many times in a month period LMAO

I'm not sure if it's true or if I saw it correctly but I had a chuckle at that.

Then the banks charge you if you don't have enough money in your account (like at least $250 or something). Or if you overdraw from your account.

They charge you money for not having money.

They charge me on my business account after so many transactions, which every check written or TAKEN and deposited is a transaction. It's free up to like 250 transactions so they charge me every month because I go over that. To get up to 500 free I would have to keep 30 grand in the account at all times. I have better things to do with my money than let it sit in that account.

:spock:


You just got creepier than the Clayman...

So you were walking on Urinal, and what WTF was that shadow in the 1st pic? Mr. Winkie out for a tan?

It's not that good. Its solid but driving to Clinton is not worth it.

I don't live too far from there, 30 minutes. We drive that far quite often to eat, Sedalia and Clinton are about the same distance, and I dont go there. calgaros here and in cole camp is much better.

You're insane. When I was in Warrensburg, I'd happily drive 30 minutes for it. It's 94 percent on Urbanspoon.

You read Sauto's response? He lives right there and doesn't go there. If you are going to Clinton sure, there's little else and it is a 8 on a 1-10.

I'd like to suggest a golf outing next time. Or perhaps one of those indoor go-kart activities.

I think it's ok, but I can get better or at least as good half a block away.

Calgaros is 92%on urban spoon and the complaints were about the Sedalia location that is now closed.

These threads are usually pretty entertaining. It's too bad you are such a cock bag in other threads.

Both are unfulfilling.

That would appear to be my camera strap.

Gay day with Clay part X: Clay meets Bufkin at a discrete bathhouse in Lee's Summit.

I was just surrounded by sweaty men grunting. Get ready for Gay Day V!

Damnit man, WHERE'S THE NEW THREAD??????

Chiefs must lose, then we have a gay day. That is the order of things.

ROFL

Will you dip your penii's in Blumpkin pies, and make Pawnmower lick them clean?

We will sacrifice geno for a gay day

do a tenderloin sammich gay day. Tenderloin grill? c'mon man

Too bad no more Sandersons. That would have been EPIC.

I'm slow to these, so apologies for a tardy bump. But these are always fantastic. Sorry it was more cray cray than gay, but for me, it was ok. The pizza looked like it should have tasted better. Boo.

Gaylore, Claylore, Anus4free, how many multz you got?

0

I think it's high time for another Gay Day, though.

Perhaps Friday.

Maybe you should get your legs waxed and a Brazilian, your kinda hairy...

I've taken to using clippers above the knee. It feels nice.

Clay since you're always down here lets grab a bite somewhere my treat and any other planeteers are welcome to join us

I'll be in Westport Friday. We will hang out. PM me your number.

I think a group effort would only add to the gay day. Please do this.Everyone can participate, but getting...whatever you call Wendler's handle these days' POV of the group adventure would be outstanding.

I actually had a super gay day yesterday, but did not document it. I apologize.

Highlights:

Date
Coffee
Chocolate
Shopping
Movie
More shopping

I'm pretty much a girl.

Instead of a Pizza trip, this is going to turn into a soggy biscuit game....

*insert hilarious gay joke that you've probably never seen on this site before*

Clay is living that Fred Durst life.

How cute was the boy you dated?:)

You don't get to appreciate how gay this piece of shit is until you sit down and read one of these things.

Mani Pedis!!

Gay Day With Clay IV: Pizza Adventure!
 

Actually sounds like a pretty good day minus the shopping. You probably spent a shit ton though.

**** yeah. Gay Day one of your dates.

Dude shopping is the best. The ****ing BEST. Especially around Christmastime when everything is on sale.

Damn dude. Set a budget, Hootie!
