@DoubleEcho: I hadn't considered that but it does make a lot of sense. Most people fill out these "Specialty cards" or whatever you want to call them very quickly and most of the time would just quickly glance.


My wife used to work at a Macy's and they made her push their cards. She said people would sign their name without even looking at anything in the form, just grab, signature, done. Crazy. Who could have imagined a credit issue, my ass.

@mythago: Seriously. How can you guys not see the difference in the government handling a company they bailed out billions for and a company that has never needed federal money?


I don't the government making business decisions but these circumstances warrant different measures.

@dragonfire81: I know everything is relative with phone coverage and everyone has bad experiences with every carrier but my time with T-Mobile has been bad. They really do have awesome customer service but coverage has been terible. All over, in all types of weather I am never more then one full bar. I've had multiple phones too. My contract ends this month and I am so happy to be on my way.


I'm thinking probably Verizon. With cells I will sacrifice a little on the customer service front if it means I can actually make a phone call when I need to.
