yup.
2 weeks ago I renewed a shop membership (cheaper printer supplies).
1 week ago they decided keying in your phone number wasn't enough, download an app, verify it,
and each time you go to the store it create one of those boxy code things to flash.
yesterday at the local shop, realised I didn't have my phone - in fact I rarely bring the phone for local shopping,
luckily their software was broken, the cashier was just asking for phone number.
but anyway apparently in the future I'm required to bring my phone along to prove I'm me,
** they won't accept photo ID ** (some privacy crap even if you choose to flash your ID).
** new members when applying must go to the store and show their ID as confirmation **
after that it's all and ONLY by phone.
as if you might not be carrying someone else's phone???
Heck, if my son wants something from there I'll happily let him take my phone to get the discount.

They'll spot that one - no self respecting yoof has anything older than a iPhoney X these days, so if he's carrying your old Nokia 3310 they will immediately smell a rat!

Hi CPians,
a tiny question about international visit cards.
How do you write your job description title and the name of the department in the english side?
I mean:
1) Usual case:
Software development /// Software developer ("ment" or "er"?)
Name of the department
2) Camel case:
Software Development /// Software Developer
Name Of The Deparment
3) Other... how?

I print/write in all caps as draftsmen/architects do.
But I would go with door #2, I think.

I print/write in all caps because I'm only allowed crayons ...

I've done it like this before:
Software Development /// Software Developer
Name of the Deparment
So where the conjunction isn't capitalised.

Thanks for your answer.
Would you use "Development" or "Developer"?

Although I would like to agree with you, in my life I have found more cases of people with "not official bias / prejudices" who looked more to "how it looks like", than people who don't care about the "formal" part and think is what really matters.

Yet flair and individuality is to be encouraged.
As you say, perhaps not in Germany though.

Actually Germany is mostly better than other places I have know in many aspects... but idiots can be found overall.
