a classic!

My first legal job at age 16 was as a cashier at Kmart $3.35 per hour. I worked under the table jobs prior to age 16. I liked it and when someone used a credit card the transaction took longer. I had to look in a thick book of stolen credit card numbers and had to compare it to the customer credit card to see if the card was legit. I wore a K mart vest and a shirt and tie.

Back when you had to use a machine to "scan" (aka make a print copy) of the credit card numbers, right?

No machine scan of what you are referring to in the 1980s. Check the credit card # of the customer to the thick book of stolen cards by my assigned cash register.

The circled part makes me chuckle, ‘cause it only got up to 101 yesterday…!!!!!

Oh, you had a list?

And I was wondering about these.

My bad. Yes, K Mart had that scan machine when someone paid with a credit card, in addition to looking up in book to compare customer credit card to stolen credit card list which was updated on a regular basis.

Yup! And there was no list, you had to call to verify for purchases over $50. See an ID and get a signature.

No problem…!!!
With as hard as you work, it probably feels like it sometimes, but, you definitely don’t look 129…!!!

My favorite is his "drinking problem".

Now whenever someone in our house misses their mouth when drinking, we're like "You having a drinking problem?"

So funny story, a few weeks ago, my mom showed me a Youtube video of one of those for some reason, not sure how we got on the topic, and that was when I learned that is why credit cards have the characters ridged on them. See, for as long as I've been alive, credit cards have pretty much been taken by computer; I have no memory of those things. So I had to admit that I always thought the characters on a credit card were ridged so blind people could identify them. Yeah, that was my millennial moment.
