Credit cards are what people use after they discover that money can’t buy everything.
I just met a girl scout cookie seller with a credit card reader on her cell phone.
Trying to give better and personalized service at our hotel we would look at the visitor’s credit card and try to address them by name reading the card. One Sunday night we had a bunch coming in and the girl took the company card got the last name and said, “Ok, Mr. Bell, your room will be on the second floor.” The visitor interrupted and asked, “Oh please, call me Taco.”
Why don’t you ever hear about burglars robbing politicians?
Professional courtesy.
