EDITOR, The Tribune.
JUST went to Super Value Winton and picked up a few items and went to check out using my debit card, which we have all been encouraged to do and BINGO! No Internet and all of the POS card processors are down. And I don’t have a red penny in my pocket.
Never mind, off to their Sea Grapes shop I go, do my shopping, go to the check out and BINGO again. No Internet and all of the POS card processors are down. And I don’t have a red penny in my pocket.
I will be so excited when we finally get those driverless cars. Yes, the ones that run on the Internet. Not that I would be driving one but imagine the excitement when the Internet goes down and everyone is rushing to get to work.
I just can’t wait !

That's why I always pay in cash, never had a problem....

Firstly, those in positions of power must care enough to fix the problem. The rest of the world moves ahead, while ignorant politicians use empty words here in The Bahamas. Backwards is not an illusion. Davis, nor any other in this administration seem incapable of actually solving problems. The best they can do is run their mouths while we all watch them stuffing their pockets and their chubby faces. This is the best we can do with a D- national education.

When I enter the store, I ask if the machine is working, if it is not, I leave without wasting time.
But yesterday I wanted to break up a 100 dollar bill by purchasing a small item. Two places had not change for a 100 dollar bill. Had to got to a food store to get that.

Tell them to use Starlink internet service from Elon Musk, at least then you won't have to worry about it going down.
