За банките, картовите оператори и държавната администрация

Скъпи държавни мъже и жени, мили банки, не чак толкова мили картови оператори, защо по дяволите си давате толкова зор да прекарвате всички заплати през вас, а не правите никакви постъпки да се плащат разни държани данъци и такси на едно гише и с карта, ами трябва да правя упражнението гише хикс, каса на банка, гише хикс, ще ви умре дребната далаверка с някакви таксички, а? Вземете се в ръце и работете креативно, вместо да мислите на парче за дребните ви селски далавери. Пари има за всички, само трябва да се научите, че нормалната печалба е 10%, а не 10 пъти.

Издаване на златен талон в Шумен

1. Отивате до КАТ, като сте си сложили непропускливи обувки, защото трябва да се гази. Това разбира се в зимни условия, лятото не може по джапанки, трябва по-представително*.
2. Отивате на гише 1 във вътрешната сграда. Там откъдето сте си взели книжката преди поне 6 години.
3. Чакате.
4. Подавате си книжката на дружелюбната служителка на КАТ и й казвате, че искате да си издадете златен талон. Тя проверява нещо на двата компютъра пред нея и ако покривате условията, получавате формуляр на декларация, който никъде другаде не може да намерите.
5. Плащате 1 лева такса и 1 лев комисионна на 9то гише в другата сграда.
6. Пак чакате.
7. Давате така попълнената декларация, квитанцията, книжката и стария талон.
8. След 2-3 минути мануални упражнения щастливо получавате контролен талон "Водач на МПС без наказания".
* В КАТ Шумен е забранено да се влиза пиян и дрогиран, мърляв, с къси панталони, джапанки, много къси поли и потници.
Оказва се, че в Стара Загора таксата е 1.50 лева. Edit: В Стара Загора са свалили на левче.

Visa vs MasterCard

По повод, че спряха даренията към WikiLeaks, ми дойде да им тегля една майна и на тези монополисти. Ползвам и едните и другите през разни банки. Чудя се кой ми сваля повече звезди от телевизора - монополите или банките. Само говорят някакви глупости, които слабо ме интересуват и обещават разни неща, които на приказките от телевизора, не са такива, каквито са в договорите и таксите, които ти се случват след това.
Та идеята ми е да им пикая на грижата за клиента и не знам си кво. VISA България имат сайт с домейн visabg.com, на който за лица за контакти са дадени някакви хора от PR агенция. Отделно дизайнът е някакъв силно селскостопански, въобще не приличащ на корпоративния им сайт, и по-скоро би ме навел на мисълта за фишинг сайт, отколкото за официален сайт, на една от фирмите, които държи Света в ръцете си.
Българският сайт на MasterCard поне е на mastercard.com, но отново е със селскостопански дизайн и няма съвсем никакви контакти.
Същевременно и жалко, че ме мързи да го издиря, но някаква дама я представиха за представителка на Visa България по радиото и тя си позволи да обяснява как Visa картите нямали такси и не знам си какво и как трябвало да почнат всички пари да се въртят през картите, за да няма измами с данъци и разни от тоя сорт. Тази сигурно е била от съответната PR агенция, щом няма как да се свържа с нея. Лъже си хубаво и си има банки, които събират такси при разплащания с Visa карти и трябва да си ги следят тези работи, но предполагам на една PR агенция не й е това работата.
С две думи да вземат да си вършат по-съвестно работата, защото хората им писва лошо и може да имат спонтанни изблици не само на блокиране на сайтове.

Меморандум фирма не прави.

Без да вземам мнение по въпроса, ще видим какво ще се случи следващите 10 месеца.
