FTA: In later years she observed: "They started using the number. They thought it was their own. I can't understand how people can be so stupid. I can't understand that."Apparently she doesn't know too many people.
Having worked in retail most of my (thus far) life, and having worked in a call center for five years, I'd love to say something like this surprises me, but sadly it doesn't.
WTF.Exactly how is it the fault of the US government if a private company decides to use a card that is about half the size of the actual, as an example of where to place the card in the wallet?...or for that matter, how is it the government's fault, if the VIEWING ANGLE and DISTANCE are different for the two cards in the picture (of the lady) taken by the press (rather than being a picture of the cards, shown directly side by side to illustrate the size differences)?Silly Diggtards. ^_^
That's big govt for ya, no sufficient consequence motivating them to be precise. $Trillions of our tax dollars provide a comfy environment to make stupid mistakes like that.
