I remember hearing an urban legend in the Corpus Christi area about Whataburger experimenting with some kind of push-button or touch screen order system back in the 80s.

Hopefully they last longer than Fatburger did here in Texas...it was a sad sad day when I discovered their San Antonio location had closed.

Blockbusters have been closing left and right in my area, I went to one last Saturday night, and there were maybe eight people total in the store, including the two employees. Netflix was good before, and with instant watch via Xbox 360 it is now AWESOME.

Good riddance to Blockbuster, I say.

That was the right solution for the wrong situation...I would love to see this done to jerks who take up two parking spots just so that their precious doesn't get dinged.

Should the CR ad in the upper-right corner say "blob" or do they mean "blog?" I'm wondering if "blob" is a new term or meme that I'm not familiar with...

I Lowered My Time Warner Bill In 4 Minutes, Just By Asking

Here is the deal with the "on hold" thing, or at least the way it worked when I worked at Time Warner:

When you call the tech support line and threaten to cancel, the sales/tech support CSR should put you on hold and transfer you over to the retention department.

Now unless you have a really dim CSR, they aren't going to TELL you that (I did overhear it a few times myself). Once you're in retention its time to play "let's make a deal." That said, your account may have a note saying "Do NOT send to retention" if they feel you've gone to the well too many times.

@theblackdog: I'll second that. Except for the occasional bargain-hunting for inexpensive DVDs and games I can do without Circuit City.

I heard the actual song on the radio a few days ago, I thought my head was going to explode like those guys in the old "Scanners" movie.
