Make money money make money moneyyyyy

Yay here is my weekly allotment! 35 pounds a day... which is like $54 USD... I should just go to the currency exchange and put it in my bank account and make more money off it... but I won't, because I've had the hardest time not having cash on me!
My friend and I were searching around town for just a bagel and finally found a Bagel shop, they made me one and I went to pay.. and they looked at me like I was a 2 year old and were like... we don't take cards...
So.. I had to leave my bagel and cream cheese at the restaurant and go find an ATM. WHICH did not know if it would take my American debit card or not.. the ATM was broken anyways, so we went in search for another ATM. This whole excursion took place in a busy train station. The other ATM we found had the longest line ever, so we decided to ditch the food and find another place that would serve me a bagel and take my stupid american debit card. I tried 3 other places for a freaking bagel and each time I asked, "do you have bagels?" they looked at me like they have never heard of the word. So I just decided to purchase a gross looking sandwich instead. I give them my card and they said "Your swiper card doesn't work here..." uggggh!!! as there is a huge line forming behind me and everyone looking like they want to kick my head in, the manager comes over and is like "Yes, these cards do work here, here watch. And they take out their debit swiper machine from like under the counter and swipe my card, wait for the receipt.. like 20 minutes later I'm out the door with my gross sandwich and everyone wanting to shoot me. And oh I spill half my coffee on the way out. Yep. Typical Allie situation.
So I guess all the credit cards here have some sort of chip in them that enables you to tap and go and they're like high end security cards that keep your identity safe... or something.

So in the end the lessoned learned is the UK has better paying technology, except for stupid places that take only cash, pounds,Galleons, Sickles or Knuts or whatever you call it here....

I swear I'm not as ignorant as I sound...
