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.
@NorcalGma2 @xs4me2 Checks are still a thing? 😲😳
@sandorspruit @xs4me2
They still exist.
Our recent seismic retrofit contractor would only accept a check.
@NorcalGma2 @xs4me2 Euh. It was in the news here, I think last week, that 60% of transactions is now by phone over here. Whole generations have never ever even seen a check, let alone use them 🫣
@NorcalGma2 @sandorspruit @xs4me2 I know this is off topic and must be normal where you are but to me in the UK the idea of a seismic retrofit contractor sounds like some one who is hired by an evil overlord to upgrade the earth shaker 3000 to a 6000+.
@misingtale @sandorspruit @xs4me2
Ha!
We live in earthquake country on a hill.
Attaching our house even a little more soundly to the foundation seemed a good idea.
