The Chicago L should steal a page from the London Tube
I was all excited to see new information displays being installed at my L stop. Huge high-res flat panels that you can actually see in daylight. The London Tube and the Washington DC Metro use old tech LED boards to give useful info on when the next train will approach. The Chicago message board tells me exactly how cold I’m feeling, fun CTA trivia, and how I can earn a 25% commission selling computer peripherals.
I don’t belive she really works there.

80% of customers don’t want their receipt at my local Caribou.
The barista asked if I wanted my receipt this morning, so I thought I’d ask. His first guess was 90% do not want the receipt, but then went conservative with 80%. Interesting.

Counting down from five to oneā¦.
5. Pirate Batman.
I repeat: Pirate. Batman.
