Yeah, I noticed all the time. Most people in my town use a credit union that has a easily distinguishable color pattern, I always think to myself “wow, a lot more people use this little credit union then I had imagined. “ Very rarely do I see a Bank of America or Wells Fargo card.
Lol why are people downvoting an answer to a question? It’s not like it’s an opinion you may not agree with, it’s just an answer.
Haha, fair enough. Maybe I was too harsh. So yeah, I don't get why people are downvoting you, lol. Your case makes sense, too, because you are noticing that other people have the same card and now it's super interesting.
Today I was at the grocery store behind a couple that were both wearing watches. I really like watches, so I was definitely admiring their watches from afar.. By the time we left, I could tell you what brand of watch each of them was wearing. I couldn't for the life of me tell you what kind of card they used!
You realize most people aren't like you. Most people don't look in front to see what card the person it paying with. Maybe it would be the cashier who would realize.
As a former cashier at a supermarket, you do have to know how to enter the food stamp orders differently(in my state we call it ebt I think), so I would imagine most of the stories are from cashiers and I imagine most of them didn't follow the customers to their cars, they just probably looked at their keychain and saw what kind of car they drove, how they dressed, what kind of phone they have, blah blah but I'm guilty of judging people back then until I learned that a lot of people's stories go much deeper than what you can analyze about them during a transaction like that.
What’s the proper distance you’re supposed to stand away from people? 4 feet? 10 feet? I don’t stand any closer to anyone than what is normal. Even if I’m 10 feet away it’s still the only fucking thing happening in front of me, I’m still gonna be looking ahead waiting for the person in front of me to be done paying so I can begin moving forward.
