And once they are gone, all you are left with is a failing marriage.I was exaggerating for effect, for the record. But I get what you're saying.

Ah ok sorry. I suppose personally, I think it's bad form to mock your opponents' culture like that. Just seems really trashy (whatever the opposite of "classy" is) to me.
Warning for Canadians:Yesterday, my KEB-Hana MasterCard was declined at Tim Horton’s in Saint John, NB.I paid in cash, and called the bank. My wife in in Manitoba, and was planning to use that card quite a bit this week!The bank saw the two attempts “Declined”, put couldn’t explain why. There was plenty of available credit, and I was up to date on payments.In any event, I used my card later that day. My wife used hers in Manitoba a two times... but in the third purchase today it was declined. At a Tim Horton’s half way across the country.Has anybody else had this happen? Are there other vendors I should avoid with this card?

I travel a lot.It works everywhere else.Most Canadian banks no longer require reporting.It’s just at Tim Horton restaurants - the biggest coffee shop chain in Canada.

If Canada works in a similar way, it could be that KEB-Hana failed to sign the agreement with Tim Hortons. So then the business can't recognize that charge card as coming from an accepted or legitimate bank. Or something.
Sitting in a huge, 3 level coffee shop. One of the few in my city that opens early. 2 other customers in the whole place. Probably 80-100 free seats on this level. I never choose prime seating by the window as they attract the most people. Sitting in peace, mentally preparing myself for the day. Some absolute **** chooses to sit right next to me. Out of the other 100 vacant seats, he has to sit within a meter of me.No that's not all, this pos starts watching a video on his phone, while not at full volume, still without headphones. And he slurps his drink.

Maybe it was HIS spot, where he'll sit no matter what's going on as long as it's free. Maybe he was making some weird power play and trying to see if he could get you to move. Or maybe he just really liked the look of you and wanted to be close. ;)This is like those guys who slide up to use the urinal next to yours, even when there are plenty of other free ones.

It would be impossible to set up. If they have agreements with Visa or Mastercard or some other umbrella organization that takes care of the leg work. Can you imagine Tim Horton's or any other corporate entity having to sign agreements with every bank in the world?
But it's a recurring complaint I hear from the men in my life, lol.
