There is a Walgreens about every 10,000 feet where I live. Each one of them has prepaid credit cards in the impulse buy racks[1] by the checkout. Anyone can convert their physical dollars into credit card dollars.

Would you like the remains of your shattered argument in a bag or may I dispose of them for you?[2]

[1] And pregnancy tests. Who impulse buys a pregnancy test?

[2] Ok, that was uncalled for, but its hot and I'm not feeling civil right now, and you started it with the all caps.




Congratulations. As someone who does not live in the US, I have never seen these before, and I am pretty sure they are new as in the last few years.

They do sound like a solution to my problem, and I will investigate if they have them here in Australia.
