From the Files of Leroy...

So there has been quite a length of time since I posted on the website here and you are probably wondering why. Well, it has been a rough time for me since the last post. I had a death in my family that hit me really hard, I had a birth in the family that is freaking awesome, and I made love to some family which was really akward. (Just kidding...)

We have a prgram at the company I work for where you take money out of your check, pre-tax, to fund a little debit card for medical expenses. The key word here is Medical Expenses. You would not believe the kind of crap people try to use their cards for and think it is okay. For example...

" Hello this is Leroy, How can I help you today?"
" Why ain't my card workin Leroy? It worked yesterday at the pharmacy and now it ain't working."
"Well looking at your account I don't see anything that would hold it up, let me pull up your transaction history and I'll try and see why it is rejecting."

So I look it up and quickly see that this man is retarded.

"Sir, where are you trying to use the card at?"
"I'm using it at the hospital! Ain't no reason this shouldn't work! It's MY MONEY!"
"Well sir, do me a favor and look around you and ask yourself if where you are at really looks like a hospital."
"Don't look like a hospital but it is across the street from it."
"It very well may be true that the Shell Station the card is being used at is close to the hospital but unfortunately sir you cannot use the card to purchase gas at the pump."
"SCREW YOU THEN!"

Also had a lady try to use the card at a Chik-fil-A in the hospital before. She couldn't understand why it wouldn't work there. I asked her if she thought it should work at a Chik-fil-A in the mall? She said, "No, it's in the Mall! You can't use a medical savings card at the mall, I've tried!!"

Fish in a Barrel... Until next time, Leroy!
