But Mike, he delivered the pizza, he didn't email it.
The on line transaction represents a job that was either eliminated or will never be, the clerk is a machine that counts electrons. That machine collects no salary, benefits , nor pension. The machine was "hired" to cut costs to the State and increase costs to the Sportsman. The savings didn't get passed along. Savings don't get passed along unless there is competition.
I find it ironic that the $3.09 convenience fee is the same price as the gallon of gas you'd use to drive to save the cost of said fee.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
