  • Whaaaaaaaaaaat?

    Opener-closer at "Seven Flags." Blach.

    Me: Hi there, would you like to play my game? I can guess your age or weight.

    Kid (5ish): How much does this cost?

    Me: It's 5 dollars.

    Kid: Do you take credit cards? *Holds up a Gold Amex to my face*

    Me: Uh, no.

    What the fuck was that? What parent would let their five year old carry a credit card?

        ?
        No to mention the kid couldn't use it anyway as the minimum age you can get an addl Amex for your kid at is 15 or 16 depending on which type of Amex. (This doesn't include the new Amex PASS card which is a preloadable card Amex CM's can get for their teenagers as young as 13. Those are Blue, Green, Orange or Pink).

        So I'd bet they gave the kid the card so they could blame the amusement park for the kid not being able to have fun.

          Either that or in this day and time, so many people are carrying plastic instead of cash and have grown so accustomed to it that they think everybody takes credit and/or debit cards.

          But still why would a five year old have a credit card in their possession?

            Only possibly good (but still annoying way) is deliberately (And meanly now I think about it) stopping the kid from playing games with great abandon. "Here billy go play the games" *hands kid card that can't be used*

                was the kid with his parents? maybe he took it out of mom's wallet and went off to play games, not quite getting what a credit card is

                  What was a five year old doing *anywhere* at an amusement park withOUT the parent?!
                  Credit Card notwithstanding--that's just stupid--but parentless? o.O WTF?! They don't like this kid or something and are HOPING he got snatched?
