Theft from food servers has become a big thing. While it’s convenient to pay by card, it’s also convenient for food servers to accept cards for payment. Problem is, many food servers now download apps and run customers’ cards in their own cellphones, as opposed to running it in the restaurant’s system. Wireless is never a good idea for to taking payments.

Disgruntled food servers feel otherwise, with an opinion that they should be paid more, even if they have to “take matters into their own hands” This problem is very wide spread and restaurants need to be more to secure their systems so that customers pay them and not unknowingly pay the food server personally.

Everyone knows of the chain stores who’ve rightfully moved or close stores or branches due of profit loss from shoplifters and vandals despite some communities refusing to own up to fighting extreme crime. But there are corporations that closing operations in some municipalities for selfish reasons. Wells Fargo is one example, like some business operations, deciding to make changes just for pleasure. They’ve had a good situation for a long time, until they chose to make some changes just to cause others inconvenience. Executives opted on “tentative consolidation”, as told by their customer advocacy department. It hasn’t-t gone well. My local branch (a very busy branch) and both ATMs (automatic teller machines) closed down, despite my town being a good area. The nearest two branches were both 2½ and 3 miles away. Their ATMs of them anywhere in town, now all taking out. So,… Read More »Some Large Corporations Don’t Have Legitimate Reasons
