The two times I've had in-store card referrals (high value transactions: the first time was buying a P3 laptop, which was quite high end in those days; the second was furnishing a new apartment after moving to Houston), I'm pretty sure it was the issuing bank ultimately handling the call - I can't imagine the bank would have transferred the personal information they were asking for as a security check to the merchant services provider: past unlisted contact details, previous transactions etc. I suspect the call may have been transferred to them, though, rather than called directly.
I had a similar issue this year with British Telecom working on a broadband fault. The service manager wanted to speak directly to the field engineer working on the fault (different divisions: the engineer's BT Openreach, the manager was BT Wholesale) - but the Openreach guy said he couldn't call the Wholesale one directly. So, the Wholesale one called my number and asked to speak to him
it is the retailer who is supposed to make the call to the financial institution on the retailer's own phone line
To be fair, the Apple Store staff tried phoning on their own iPhones first, but none of them could figure out how to hold it to get a signal, so they had to borrow the customer's phone instead...
My apartment has carpet save the kitchen that has tile. When i moved in, i was given a checklist to note what was not perfect. Figuring that's what they would fix, i verbally mentioned the cracks in the kitchen floor and perhaps something else, and moved on. I really had no idea what the checklist was for. Besides, it looked daunting.
it has run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible
Are you sure it's not merely pining for the fjords?
They'd sold thousands of them. In a market counted by the millions that's very insignificant.
FTFY
"Apple didn't come from behind in the smartphone market. They created the market. "
Well, that's one view into the reality distortion field.
And I bet if he had said something along the lines of "Apple came from behind in the smartphone market and knocked the heretofore industry leaders on their asses", you'd have an equally useless and snarky rejoinder.
Sometimes the inverse RDF is just as strong as the RDF itself...
Don't feed the troll.
No, this is just barbaric full stop. A human pregnancy test is not important enough to warrant killing and torturing a mammal.
Perhaps, but your drama llama response justifies animal torture on a scale that Frank Perdue couldn't dream of. Grow up.
In a way, but don't forget the contempt that the left holds for large swaths of average slobs: those working just hard enough to not 'earn' public assistance.
They love the union. They don't love the union members.
I'm wondering how the audience will choose between her channel and "The Blaze". Somewhat disheartened that there may be a large enough market for both of them.
Nobody is forcing you to read what I write. If you don't like it and don't want to talk about it then feel free to go read someone else's JE. You can allege "judge first" all you want, but you should be aware of the judgment you yourself are casting when you do that.
The difference being that I'm here to entertain myself. I don't get all self congratulatory with my higher goals to improve the plight of my fellow human beings. I'm also not claiming to engage in anything approaching a fair or reasonable discussion. Much like I read and posted for years at Daily Kos (and here), "it's the hypocrisy".
