Your Chance to Win!

I went to Taco Bell for lunch on Friday (no fries). The girl at the register went into this rehearsed speech stating to please fill our the survey fora chance to win... Yeah, yeah the latest trend in marketing - the brief online survey. It seems like this trend went viral all at once. The bank receipt I was given at the drive through measures 10". The first 3.5" are my deposit information, and the rest is blank space and they "fill out our brief survey for your chance to win!" Really M&T bank? You are supposed to be professional, not a fast food or mall vendor. I'm sick of it, and have been for a while now. What irks me the most is the receipts that are a minimum of double their needed size because of all this foolishness. It bothers me because I need to process all business receipts which now entails an additional step. When I get the stack of business receipts for fuel, Home Depot, Lowes, and anywhere that uses thermal paper receipts I have to rip off the unneeded portion before scanning and filing of the documents. Otherwise, I would opt to not have the receipts and the bogus surveys, but I need to have accounting documents for everything.

On a brighter non-rant note the 12th Night party is tonight, and I'm really looking forward to it. Fancy drinks, and I'd say the crowd and music are the exact opposite of the 98 Rock crowd, if that makes sense. That's all for now.
