Sigh. And I don't even know if you CAN get a debit card without a cell phone these days. Lord.

But there are SO many! Still, it would be a good thing to do, to give at least a few chickens a happy life after they are deemed too old for the factory. <br />You're right- we can all relate to these situations. That should have been the easiest thing in the world to do but no. They had to text me with my four digits so that I could prove I was who I was. It all gets so Catch 22-ish.
