I hate waiting in lines and I love a great deal

I'm sure most of you have shopped at Target but the next time you go, check out their credit card reader. This has got to be one of the best ones in any retail store. You don't have to read any directions, or push credit versus debit. Just insert your card, sign your name, and then take your card back. There's no press yes to confirm the amount. The machine is smart enough to know it's a credit card versus a debit card. I especially hate the ones in the supermarkets where they ask you a million questions, or at gas stations where they try and sell you a car wash. I once saw this older man, swipe his card 4 or 5 times because he didn't answer the questions fast enough or it didn't register his swipe. You might as well write a check if you are going to slow down the line that much. Okay I'm exaggerating there.

Also, Office Max will give you $3 for each printer cartridge you bring in and you can use up to 5 in a visit for a total of $15 off a $15 purchase. Staples has had something similar but they usually don't take Canon ink which is what we have.
