these people are pretty shitty, but wtf is this child endangerment charge about?
I don’t know. I mean on the one hand they are white, as you point out, but there was that McDonald’s worker who got smacked by two women in NY and he clubbed the holy shit out of them with some kind of metal rod and did not go to jail despite being a past felon.
No, the fight is between the credit card company and that dude, and no one’s health or safety is worth that.
I remember being trained in a bar and I was told that I had to take the credit card and cut it up in front of the customer. I know this was before instant authorization, but do you think that humiliating a customer is good for business (this was when business owners cared about such things)? I don’t know why businesses went along with this.

You have to seek out Teachable Moments™ in order to train your children in how to relate to their inferiors. How are they going to absorb those sorts of wholesome values unless reinforced by Family?

They didn’t even have to get the heights right?
It was to prevent further fraud by “killing” the card back before we had a complex electronic card network that could instantly verify funds. Otherwise you could take the card and use it almost indefinitely as long as it was below a certain limit that was never rejected. Nowadays that’s not done since you can kill a card from across the country with the flick of an electronic switch.

So, you think 5’6" and 5’3" is completely unheard of?
No. I got this. It was the marching out with a big pair of scissors and cutting in up in front of the customer (and approximately four other tables of customers) that seemed to be a bit heavy handed. These were the directions that the CC companies often gave.

During 1980–1999, a total of 10 of 35 bison encounters (29%) involved photography (1); the majority of persons were ≥10 ft (3 m) from the bison, unlike the 3–6 ft (1–2 m) reported with recent photography-related injuries. Smart phones now meet the needs of most casual photographers. Smart phones are owned by 64% of American adults, and 67% of smart phone owners report using their phone to share pictures and videos (6). The popularity of smart phone photography with its limited zoom capacity and social media sharing of selfies might explain why visitors disregard park regulations and approach wildlife more closely than when traditional camera technology was used. Educating visitors about wildlife behavior and the need to maintain distances of 75–300 ft (23–91 m) from wildlife for safety of persons and wildlife is critical. Injury prevention campaigns that identify and target the underlying motivations of visitors to not comply with viewing distances might prevent future injuries.

Why did I revise and delete the one part of my comment most relevant to your statement? 
In the remark above I meant to write that I think it had to do with a witness being desirable lest the person think you were just retaining the card for yourself. Perhaps there are better solutions that address problem without bringing out the Deadbeat Scissors, though - I hear ya.

I would further submit that nothing at any goddamn restaurant is worth committing violence to get.

No, problem. I’m old enough to remember looking up the numbers in a little booklet. I just think CC companies paid their people more than the $3.35/hour training wage I was getting to have me fight their battles and humiliate someone. Fortunately, me worrying about embarrassing my customer was the worst thing that could happen st that time. These days, you could have someone haul off and punch someone, or much worse.

Very few people nowadays want to carry the 300mm lens I use for wildlife photography, though I did see someone the other day with a 600mm lens. Unfortunately neither Apple nor Samsung are yet allowed to break the laws of optics, so stupid people will continue to be attacked by large animals while in search of the kind of shot they see in print. It’s only sad when the animals get killed. I say “Arm bears”. Also captive gorillas…

[edit - the account I posted here was interpreted by someone as being a stereotypical attack. Adding the context to explain would be tedious and I doubt anyone would read it, so I think it best to remove it.]
