Y'all keep giving poor people stuff. They're poor for a reason. I don't give them crap.

Yeah ej. And I've had two friends on Facebook say they had the same thing happen. The people who deliver food and do transports are mostly rough looking individuals.
.I know they were at the cafeteria at 10:10 and 2:45.
Whomever was at the register at that time is the criminal.

Full disclosure I signed up for some stupid program and I don't want it to renew. So I turned off the card because I had used that card. I had another debit card and two credit cards that were still in wallet. But that card was a "platinum business debit," so it looked like it had a lot of money. But there was only $1500 on it.

Hey now I don't have to worry about that recurring charge though.
Win.


I can't be upset. My health is mech better after the procedure today. So while this sucks I've been in a great mood.

Card settings on the app. You can deny certain types f business. Online transactions or set a dollar amount. Just turn it off when you want to use it then turn it back on.
Easy to do. I use my card in Mexico sometimes. So I do that with my cap one credit card and my debit card.

I know thieves fricking suck and sorry that happened to you, but I just can’t stop thinking of this Seinfeld episode:

Stuff like this should be punishable by death. There really is no excuse for doing something like that

I used to work in an 800 bed hospital and a chain of surgical hospitals averaging 28 beds. Even the overpaying day surgery places would have thieves.

I noticed real quick the hospital er’s in NELA have empty cabinets except for maybe a roll of hand towel paper or some masks in the exam rooms.

Hell the last time I was admitted to Oschner Monroe the GI floor was so full that I spent over 48 hours in a tiny er room. Several times when the nurse would turn off the lights to try to help me sleep there would be people trying to come in. To the point that I told several nurses not to turn off the lights anymore.

I just last weekend installed a digital deadbolt on the house so I can get in without a key. When I go to the ER I don’t take anything except a Kleenex and my vape pen (if it’s not fully charged I leave it. I am medpot licensed so it’s THE most potent and the whole rig is only about the size of 2 cigarettes). I don’t even need an id nor insurance card since I am such a frequent visitor over the years (they recognize me with and w/out a beard even).

Glad your procedure has so far been a success. Wishing for all your procedures to at least be tolerable if not successful. Who knows what they will come up with next? And many things are not readily connected (like the skull x-rays following up on the fractured back. It’s a check for malignant cancer spreading but logic is bad lower back why check the skull?)

This should be very easy to find out they have cameras everywhere especially at that register in the cafeteria.


And yet will a hospital, subject to all things HIPAA, be willing to show it to a patient or police without a warrant?

A credit card should be used as a layer of protection between the POS and your money. Get a credit card and lock your debit card away in your night stand.

They didn't have to type in a PIN when they used the debit card at the register?

I never use a debit card for those exact reasons.

Also, PayPal sucks.

My thought exactly

Story sounds made up. You hear of debit fraud online because pin isn’t needed.
