Anyone think that the picture of the blue sling with the phone peeking out looks like a demented vulva?
Because that's where the money is.
Pretty much this.
Banks and payment processors are making money for doing next to nothing every time someone uses a card... other organisations, especially merchants want in on this as they're the ones paying (directly, you're still paying indirectly)
Sell gift cards for $x, pay out all but $0.44, but do it 800000000 times. you now have a gargantuan pile of cash that you can't touch, but can use as collateral. This is what Starbucks and every other company that sells gift cards does.
Does anyone actually do this? Sounds like an urban myth to me.
The benefit of gift cards to shops is that they encourage people to spend more precisely because people donâ(TM)t want to lose that 44p. So if you've a gift card for £20, you spend £21 and pay the rest in cash/card.
I'll go with NHTSA and NASA over the "Barr Group" ambulance chasers, thank you. Barr found that it's possible if you get like a cosmic ray to flip just the right bit you could stick the throttle on (but still not make it overpower the brakes). NHTSA and NASA investigated not just the software but the actual cases. In not a single actual case that they investigated did they find that it wasn't well explained by either stuck pedals or pedal misapplication (mainly the latter).
Oh hi, I remember chatting with you earlier
It was sane, post Brexit anything is possible.
I did test drive it, but that's the dealer, not the manufacturer. Due to GDPR they wouldn't be able to share it with the manufacturer, or retain it for longer than a few months (for speeding tickets etc to come in).
They could break the rules, but if it then leaked or I found out somehow, they would be in it pretty deep.
