You also mentioned pencil . They make a point here one should use black ink. Nothing else. Those readers are sensitive, but even with black ink I've had readers that wouldn't take a ticket. After all, they're mechanical/electrical. THerefore subject to wear and tear and breakdowns.

I wonder who pays for a new machine, or the overhaul of a current one. I suspect the store. They are probably not cheap.

So we went to play it and the machine just would not take it.

On the way home we stopped at another place, same slip, didn't even fill a ne... [ More ]
