Ponderings 10/16/19

1. What is Techron - I was at a Chevron Gas station yesterday and in each category of gas it had the
"With Techron" sign. WTH is techcron? And if it was something cool why do they not sell a gas category without it and a gas category with it.

2A. Fast Food - Why no tip field on Receipt - Whenever you go to coffee shops or food places like Qdoba, if you pay with credit card then you have to sign a receipt where the owners have conveniently placed a tip field. Why doesn't Taco Bell and other fast food places add this to there receipts to get more Tips. There are enough people who tip anytime they see the field. BTW no one should ever tip at a food/coffee place without a waiter.

3. Costco Samples - Costco should advertise what they will be sampling each day. People would change their schedules to get a sample of something good. Like imagine waking up on Saturday and you see that Costco is sampling chocolate almonds, guacamole and chips, and cheese. Everybody would go to costco that day.

4. Bikers vs. Cars - I don't think anyone actually understands bike vs. car laws on streets. What would happen if I made a car that was operated by peddling? Am I treated as a car or bike? Am I allowed to go on the sidewalk or not? Am I allowed to go on the highway?

5. Football could make pre-season more exciting by adding new rules for each week. Check out this pre-season schedule:
Week 1: 6 downs to get 20 yards.
Week 2: No Punting allowed
Week 3: No Huddle entire game.

6. Why did the school bus concept never grow to Work bus concept? I know some companies offer buses but I wonder why more don't. All popular neighborhoods should have work buses that help people get to work. BTW I just learned the plural form of bus is buses. I always thought it was busses.
