Couple Gripes
« on: May 13, 2021, 10:26:01 am »
My day is only an hour old but:

What's worse a word with incorrect spelling but recognizable or a completely different word inserted by a spell checker.

Why is it that I get a receipt from the gas pump 14" long when the actual transaction is listed in the top 3" of it.

Frank those receipts could come in handy if there's more toilet paper hoarding in the future.

Haven’t tried it, but I believe the thermal paper might just smear 😂
