Start giving out your palm print

The platform used for this blog is awfully wonky when it comes to comments. It may work for you, it may not. It's a Google thing, and beyond my control. Apologies if you can't get through. You can email me a comment at jackbogsblog@comcast.net, and if it's appropriate, I can post it here for you.
Was a time when the people in neighborhood businesses knew me and my family members by sight.
ReplyDeleteWe’ve become a digit that fits into computer software.
There was a time, not too long ago, that Freddy's would take your check with NO ID. Well, maybe the 70's was actually a long time ago....
ReplyDeleteThere was an even earlier time that ended in the 1960s, when if you went to the store without your checkbook, the store would give you a preprinted “counter check,” which you would fill in with your name and address and the name of your bank and then use to pay for your groceries. I saw Venerable Mom do it at Albertson’s.
DeleteI remember buying cigarettes for my mom with a check, and also a hand-written note saying that they were for her. I don’t remember the “counter checks” though. That was before my time.
DeleteSo I can just bring in some fat cat's palm and get free groceries? Just asking for a friend.
ReplyDeleteSound minds want to know.
DeleteWhen hell freezes over! Like I'm going to give Bezos my biometric info just so I don't have to rummage around to find my card (which is actually why some people are pleased with this development, may natural selection take them out).
ReplyDeleteNo way.
