Things To Keep In Mind When Switching Banks
Make sure you do a thorough check for repeating payments... sometimes they're only once a year. I went back through 14 months of statements, reading every line, to make sure I wouldn't end up with a charge hitting my closed Chase account.
Arizona Tries To Shake Amazon Down For $53 Million In Sales Tax
It is quite a challenge to keep up with the thousands of different tax rates in the country. That's why there are companies that specialize in keeping track with what the tax rate is at every address in the country, and their services are used by many companies with a multi-state presence (think large retailers like Target or service providers like Verizon Wireless). I don't think this boils down to it being too difficult for Amazon to keep up with constantly-changing tax rates; instead I think it's either Amazon wanting to maintain the "pricing advantage" they have by not collecting sales tax, or some executive there has it in his/her head that they shouldn't be required to collect taxes so they're being a dick about it.

Walmart Greeter Asks For Receipt, Customer Punches Her In The Face
I've punched none. And my method of dealing with this is to say "My receipt is in my front pocket. You're welcome to fish it out if you like." They never seem to take me up on the offer.

Disoriented Passenger Trying To Open Door During Flight Prompts Emergency Landing
I was concerned they were going to Portland the long way around. Even still, why would they divert to Boston? Isn't that further from Portland than Philly? Oh wait... it must be Portland, Maine, not Oregon.
