lady bender-freak and i got out this morning to do some more Christmas shoplifting...went to K-marts, got some stuff, wrote a check, out the door and to the next place....got some stuff, wrote a check, out the door, to the next place...you get the idea........last place on our list today to pick up a video game, went in, found it, up to the counter to pay for it..people in line behind us, of course...anyhow laid the game down, wife wrote out a check for the purchase, girl ran it thru the check "verification' monster, check was rejected...!!!, did it 3 times, check rejected...i KNEW the money was in the bank, no DOUBT in my mind...checkout girl standing there with this "smirky smat-arsed" look on her face and loudly (to me, anyway) proclaims the check is "no good"...of COURSE, everyone in the store is looking at us and i felt my jaws getting getting pretty darn "torqued".....

we walked out, went straight to our bank, and as i already KNEW, was assured by the bank there was several thousand dollars in that checking account; we have 2 accounts...i have NEVER wrote a bad or insufficient check wither by accident or on purpose in my life....the bank had no explanation they could offer for the fiasco, we wrote a check afterwards for gas with no problem...???....

just needed to vent over this "electronic" utopia that we are living in that can make NO mistakes......ever...GGGGRRRRRR!!!!!
