[kwlug-disc] FAANG-free list

[Ron Singh]

Funny, your comments about "cash", my experience in the Current Times with
cash;
- Food Basics takes cash, at least the one on Laurelwood Dr. in Waterloo
- B&T Grocers(Viet/Thai joint) in the heart of Kitchener takes cash(prefers
actually)
- LCBO whines and I have to pull the "cash is legal tender and it is
illegal to deny me the transaction"  Staff and I are gloved. They capitulate
- Zehrs whines and I have to pull the "cash is legal tender and it is
illegal to deny me the transaction"  Staff and I are gloved. They capitulate
- Gas stations don't care much, at least, no one has hassled me when I do
cash payments
- Stemmlers in Heidelberg is cool with cash(gloved), and the 3 farmer folks
that I frequent are more than good with cash, no gloves required(!)

Life is so simple now, food, liquour and gasolene, the essentials:-)

Amazon will have the best and most comprehensive  data on just about
everyone(we have all upped our purchases on that platform I am sure) and it
will be interesting how they moentize that data gold in the Post Times.

Thanks,

Ron Singh
