You're better than that.

Right, but the difference between your traditional bank-issued card and a private label retailer card is the deferred interest:

The first part of your story reminds me of part of an interview of Eddie Van Halen I read years ago. He said something to the effect of he’d rather play in front of 80,000 people vs. 10 people. If half of the large crowd doesn’t like you, that’s still 40,000 people who are on your side. If five of those ten people…

neither of those. more like the beginning of ‘funny’

It is definitely not ‘fah’. ‘Fuh’ is more like it.

_kath actually posted the whole story in another reply on this page, which I finally caught up to as I was going through the comments because Kinja.
