man drive in Durham for a little while and it will seem completely normal to you that people regularly pile into that drat thing. If we had one of those in Fayetteville, there would be three crashes a day.

I'd probably go for the kiss on both cheeks like the French do, but I don't know whats really appropriate or not.

I fancy that the descriptions we get of [the telephone’s] use in America are a little exaggerated; but there are conditions in America which necessitate the use of instruments of this kind more there than here. Here we have a superabundance of messengers, errand boys, and things of that kind. In America they are wanted, and one of the most striking things to an English-man there is to see how the Americans have adopted in their houses call bells and telegraphs, and telephones, and all kinds of aids to their domestic arrangements, which have been forced upon them by necessity.

You guys drive to a place to get money and then drive somewhere else to spend it? Here in Australia we have electronic banking at almost every business, we hardly ever need actual cash for anything.

Yeah drive-through liquor stores are a thing in Australia because that gives you something you can't just carry around in your pocket.

I was talking to a friend who volunteered at a convention here last weekend, and they were saying that all of the American visitors who she sold stuff to at her booth had to either swipe or insert their credit card into the eftpos terminal. Paywave/paypass transactions aren't a thing there I guess?

Cash money is used for stuff like street food or shady businesses, loaning your bud a fiver, and also for your drug dealer if you're a TCC poster and they don't accept bitcoin.

My ex couldn't get her head around Drive Through Bottlo's (Liqour stores). She was from Ft. Mac so I suspect she was lying.

It was the drive-through pharmacies for me. I think the big chain they have in America (CVS) is also a supermarket or something, but I couldn't imagine rolling up to a Boots with a drive-in window and saying, "Yeah, can I have a bag of Bic razors, two cans of RightGuard and a Diet Coke, please?"

You know what's funny? BankOne and Chase had the equivalent of PayWave way back in the early 2000's and just no one ever used it so they got rid of it. We just now got the chips. So in that instance US banking was actually on par with he rest of the world. Ask about how we have to pay wiring fees to send any large amount of money from one bank to another if you're not the owner on both accounts!

You can't actually do that. The drive-thru is for picking up meds from the pharmacy, the techs won't do your shopping for you.
