Home Depot update. Seemingly competent cashier but rung up 12 pavers instead of 10, which I didn’t realize until I got home. Extra annoying, I need 2 more pavers because someone thought eyeballing it instead of measuring was fine despite my opinion otherwise.

FWIW, I would just dispute it with credit card company for the amount I was overcharged. It’s still annoying, because you’ve got to wait a day or two for the charge to post & you’ve got to figure out how much they overcharged you, but you don’t have to drive your ass back to Home Depot and talk to the ornery orange overalls in cyst “service” .
Stupid autocorrect ima jus gon leave it like that.

Eh, he had detailed notes on the unfinished portions and he didn’t write everything in order. So yes, the first 8 measures of Lacrymosa are considered to be the last music that he wrote before he died, but Mozart is widely believed to have personally composed Domine Jesu and Hostias, both of which come after Lacrymosa. The handwriting is considered to be his. He had only completed portions of Dies Irae, which comes before Lacrymosa.
And to some extent we don’t precisely know because both his widow and Sussmeyer (who finished the portions that Mozart did not) have told multiple conflicting stories (including one about a mysterious stranger bringing money to the house and insisting on its completion… the basis for the Amadeus movie.)
Well to add to your cashier saga, I got home from the grocery store with a can of chips that I did NOT have in my cart… must have been for the people before or after me in line. Someone is disappointed to not have their chips. But at least they weren’t charged for them … I was.
But it’s like $2.49 and the amount of time it would take me to return them for a refund is worth way more to me than $2.49. 
But if I’m gonna blow calories on chips it wouldn’t be those chips…
Guess what’s getting added to the office snacks-for-everyone stash today?

Don’t they have self-checkout?
$3.98 to activate a $25 Visa gift card purchased at Target.
Almost 16% markup in the end.
I had a cart full of concrete pavers and there was no line at the garden center checkout. Foolishly thought it’d be more efficient.
have you ever heard of this little invention called cash? It’s just like a Visa gift card but better. You can use it everywhere Visa is accepted, and lots of other places, too! Plus, you don’t have that annoying “activation fee”, since cash is automatically activated when it’s created. It’s great! You should look into it next time.

Cash is still pretty widely accepted in Canada and the US but that is changing rapidly as a lot of places just continued only accepting cards after COVID.
It is annoying how hard it is to find places that accept cash in some other countries. When we visit my daughter in the UK I usually borrow her debit or credit card to pay for things to avoid foreign exchange conversion charges. No one takes cash! Particularly frustrating as my UK bank will not provide me with a card as a non-resident and the pounds are sitting there ready to be spent. I, of course, reimburse her for the charges I make to her card but that is cumbersome.

I haven’t had cash in forever. I don’t even carry a 20 on me anymore.
I still see people using cash, and like, that was gross even before covid.
It’s also pretty hard to use cash to buy stuff on-line. Personally, I don’t want to go to the airport just to buy my plane fare for my upcoming trip. Nor downtown to book a room at a hotel.
Except online. It was a gift for a 13th birthday party.
I usually have at least some cash. I don’t use it often but on the odd chance I want something at a vending machine it’s useful - more and more accept cards but not all.
Also, since we moved back to Kansas, I write a lot of checks. I’ve written more checks in the past year than I wrote in 14 years in Colorado. A lot of the contractors here are old school and don’t even know what Square is.
Or they don’t want to pay 2.6% + $0.10 when they can get 3-4 digits of check cashed for not much effort.
