This is the normal routine at Panda Express and has now spread to other fast food places in the area.
And while I'm on my rant....This weekend at Home Depot the clerk asks if I will use my HD credit card and I say no. Then they ask if I want to open a HD credit card and save 10% on my $46 purchase. I asked the clerk what the interest rate was and they were stumped...I suggested they don't try an push a financial instrument without knowing what they are pushing.
I think I am getting old!
