Fraudulent charges on my Citibank Mastercard number.
You've called Citibank about this, right?
Right?
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

I'm guessing that Evanston had a similar restriction to Wheaton's for most of the 20th century (being the home of the WCTU). If, OTOH, you grew up in Joliet, steel and coal town with tons of hard-drinking immigrants, you had access to booze.
Oak Park recently opened its first wine-bar that didn't require food to be served--until just a few years ago, the rules didn't allow for liquor to be served at non-restaurants, so there were no bars per se, which is why they're all over in neighboring Forest Park, with one of the highest bars-to-residents ratios in the state.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Did you figure out how they got your number?
Nope. I asked how they knew these were fraudulent and she said that the magnetic strip info didn't match up. So it sounds like they might have had the number, but other info was different--but I'm not sure what gets put on the strip.
About $400-$500 was charged. My last real charge was the ER, and then they went on a beauty store shopping spree with my info some time afterwards.
Nothing but inconvenience, and I think I only have one thing regularly billed to that account, so I have to make sure I go into my gym and change that before my next payment is due.
You've called Citibank about this, right?
Oh, no.
Citibank called me.

I have numb face.
Again.
Replacement accidentally deleted some code.
I rewrote it because when I asked about the autobackups, the guy looked like he was going to cry.
Tired now.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
In AK, the liquor stores are open 9 am-midnight 7 days a week, but they have to be separated from the rest of the store (leading to a bifurcated 7-11, frex).
In MN, the stores are completely separated, and in the MSP area close at 8 p.m. weekdays and 10 p.m. weekends, with stores outside of the metro area closing at 10 p.m. all week. All stores are closed on Sundays. You can buy 3.2 beer at gas stations and supermarkets, but nothing else.
In CA, you can buy wine/beer/booze any damn time you want, as long as the store's open. Whoo!!

Wow, go away to lunch and come back 50 posts into a new thread.

Hec should make that part of the sales pitch.
