Lost my wallet today at a grocery store full of church dressed people. Locked the cards,then saw two usage attempts on two different cards. Of course, maybe it wasn't one of the people who had just came from church...

It could easily be someone who goes to church. My church has a community meal and a food pantry, and a lot of people who are welcome and who come for church services are homeless or food-insecure or addicts. And honestly anything that isn't locked up walks away way too often. Jesus called for the church to serve the hurting and broken and needy so it shouldn't be a surprise. You know what though? A lot of those people are willing to volunteer time and even give a little when they can.
But the rich assholes that don't tip and treat their servers like shit, they usually don't help the church at all in any way. Maybe they throw in $20 a couple times a year to appease their conscience. Continue berating them by all means.
I mean you don't know. While you're getting all new stuff....try a phone wallet app. I only have 1 physical CC in my wallet plus some cash if needed. The tap to pay uses a dummy CC#, it's very secure, so even if stores get hacked your info is safe. A lot of people don't know this...phone wallet app is very very safe.
I have 1 physical CC but have access to all 5 CCs via phone wallet app for tap to pay.
Also recommend a small front pocket wallet. Easier on the back, it's less prone to slipping out/getting stolen, and if you're looking for a brand-specific recommendation I like Trayvax with its 65-yr heirloom warranty. It's a wallet for life. 🙂
Good on you locking the cards via their apps. 👍👍👍
Actually how I paid for groceries. I've also already replaced the card via app and it was instantly available for my wallet app too. Gonna try using that more and see how comfortable I am with bringing less or no ccs with me. A few stores I hit still can't tap, but they are much less now.
As for the front wallet, kinda actually the issue. I haven't put my wallet in back pocket for years. Most of my pants have a zippable side/leg pocket that I put the wallet in, but today I wore different pants so used front pocket, but using a belt clip on the pocket lip(the main wallet on the inside). I thought I'd feel if it came out but I was wrong.
I still will go for something small,and likely never use the clip part. I'll check out the brand you mentioned.
Don't forget to condemn the local homeless guy for asking you to spare some change while he also happens to own a cellphone.
Please don’t attack the most vulnerable of our society without research. The question of why many homeless people have cell phones is a complex one, often rooted in misconceptions about homelessness and the true value a phone provides in this situation: https://www.homelesslongisland.org/post/why-is-it-that-most-homeless-have-cell-phones "How a society treats its most vulnerable is always a measure of its humanity” ☮️ ✌️
You realize the comment you are replying to does not actually support acting that way, but is ridiculing people who actually hold that viewpoint, right?
I stand corrected. Thank you for pointing that out :)
Which makes it still a very applicable comment to reply to with more information on the subject. Again, for everyone else reading.
This church group used to come in sunday afternoons. No reservation. At least 12 people. Separate checks. They'd sit for over an hour and have a meeting with their pastor. None of them tipped or if they did they rounded up to the nearest dollar.
I'm not all the way through The Righteous Gemstones yet but I can't believe they haven't done this at that restaurant they go to after church.
Bastards.
...christians are f*cking evil, full stop...
full stop...
That's an ellipsis.
ellipsis: yada, yada yada...
Oh, the things you would do if you believed you would be absolved and forgiven by a higher power.

American way of life.
You've been rude and hateful towards Americans in several posts and it's not okay. I'm considering banning you on my instance. You need to learn how to be respectful while sharing disagreement.
Oh cry me a river. The fact is that your country is now threatening an economic war with the entire world and fucking directly ANNEXING MY COUNTRY. I"ll say it again, americans democratically elected dt, knowing who he was. The fact that no country in the world now can't focus on any subject other then fighting back the USA (no one talks about environment, every country raises "defense" budget) makes it clear: your country is a threat to the survival of the human race. Like literally. So just ban me already from your instance lol, and go keep bullshitting the world about freedom of speech.
Is this comment a joke? Trump has been rude, hateful, and disrespectful towards Canadians. Despite being a close neighbour, rallying and sending our forces to U.S. for “their” wars, housing and feeding thousands of their citizens during the 9-11 attack, Trump has slammed us with underserved tariffs, and threatened to annex us. I think we’ve been downright fucking civil.
Edited for clarity
Accurate.
