#New Jersey "ha ha he he
Yes this are Famous words of Mr. Adolf Hitler
Known as Mein Kampf
The best way to take control over a people and control them €œUtterly€� is to
take a little of their freedom at a time, to erode rights by a thousand,
tiny and almost imperceptible reductions. In this way the people will not
see those rights and freedoms being removed until past the point at which
these changes cannot be reversed.
These is in existent today you dont believe
Go and live in #NEW JERSEY
My God if there is one: How truth a full this is!!!!

Back to the gasoline thing, why do they check if your debit or credit

They certainly do. Many stations take the money up front and set the
pump to give only what you paid for.

I forgot about that, because in the states I use the debit card all
the time (I'll have to check if I get emails about more money than I
actually spend at US gas stations, self-service. The only place near
me with service is New Jersey, where the law requires them to give
service.)

But here, one guy told me that you don't have to pay in advance. Glad
you reminded me I might be wrong. I'll check on that some more. But
even if it's the same here, that doesn't change the fact that they
send notices and call them "transactions" when they are only holds,
they don't say either in the email or in a later email when the hold
is released (it might be 30 days in some cases and that might be why
the car rental keeps doing it again every 30 days) and it doesn't send
one specifying the actual amount charged.

On an earlier occasion, I was talking to BOA when a charge disappeared
(because he couldn't get the pump to work, but it took hours or tens
of hours to disappear), and I asked her, Why didn't I get an email.
She said, We didn't cancel it, the merchant did. This also means it
DID show up on my monthly statement -- I remember that I saw it there
-- even though it was just a hold, unless it was an actual debit that
later got reversed. Either way. That's some hing I can definitely
check out. Usually I buy gas on the way out, or in the middle of the
day, and when I come home I'm tired and I put off buying gas until the
next day. But I can buy it just before I get back here, and see if
the amount at first matches what is on the pump, or is greater.

Transaction: The act of transacting.

Transact:
verb (used with object)
1.to carry on or conduct (business, negotiations, activities, etc.) to
a conclusion or settlement. Synonyms: enact, conclude, settle,
manage, negotiate.

verb (used without object)
2. to carry on or conduct business, negotiations, etc.:
He was ordered to transact only with the highest authorities.

So I'm right. Unless you call a hold a conclusion or settlement, and
I don't, it's not a transaction.
