- In a package store over the holidays, one run by an Indian gentleman, there
- was some difficulty validating a credit card purchase over the phone lines.
- He tried several times with the card wipe.
- "It seems they are extremely busy.", he tried again. "I am terribly
- sorry for the delay, sir. I am having trouble getting the information off
- the service." He made one more attempt, to no avail. He looked up at me
- and smiled, "I see that I will have to be getting it off manually."
