So circled around to my new place--or one branch thereof--and the cashier says "these are blacked out".

So I did what any good FTer would do: I panicked and decided THE END OF ALL THINGS WAS NIGH.

Turns out that, after frantically visiting other places--one of which I STILL haven't found a cashier who knows how to run these (which would explain why there are so freaking many there)--that is NOT the case and disaster averted.

The first location, however, has pulled all their beans off the rack. I would have been HAPPY to port them to a friendlier location, but no one asked me.

The weirdest part, though, is that my original post of 10/21--I still haven't been billed. Not pending, not posted, not nothing. I tried to go back in there and explain because I don't want the gravy train to end because of me, and they said to wait a while.

Waiting...
