This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Cashback and protections paid out of higher transaction fees, merchant raises prices to cover those costs. It's not just a magic money machine; the consumer is subsiding significant card company profits. If we all just agreed to forgo the rewards and protection there would be fewer middlemen to pay, but I don't blame you for acting greedily (I do the same).
