For some reason our pickup has started making terrible shrieking noises behind the glovebox somewhere. It happens if the fans are running.
I scheduled the earliest appointment available and got up at the crack of dawn.
I waited while they found the problem.
The motor that runs the air systems is broken.
Because the noise is intolerable for all of us except my husband who's hearing is too impaired to hear it we will spring for the repair.
Summer gave me this look when I told her that this, probably the largest car dealership in these parts, wouldn't take a personal check, will not give change if you pay cash and will charge a 4% surcharge if you use a card.
I swear paying for anything is getting dicey.
I made them take a check because we have bought all of our cars there since 1968 and had a personal account until they stopped doing that too.
I am starting to feel like customers are an inconvenience for businesses anymore.
Summer has the best eye roll.
Good morning, Mastodon.

Maybe pay in a big stack of one dollar bills?

@stepheneb
Good idea!

This next suggestion Is just getting silly but I like visual!

Come with a big leather bag of ones and a fancy counting machine. Get the final cost and keep feeding ones into your counting machine. When the accumulating hopper is temporarily full pull those bills out into a messy pile on the counter and keep feeding bills until the count is one more than the amount owed. Pack up the counter machine into the big leather bag with more ones and say: “Keep the change.”
