i don't get many first-evers

i don't get many first-evers. the world is old enough and i'm slow enough that if there's something to be done, someone else has done it first.

however, i am proud to announce that yesterday, i got a first-ever, and a prestigious one at that: I am the first person ever to pay at Beltramo's with a discover card.

I've been trying to use my discover card there for a decade, and finally, as a joke, yesterday I asked if they take it yet. Someone ran out from the back, presumably a manager, and said that their new POS system, installed just this weekend, takes Discover.

Oddly, discover did not call me up to confirm the massive charge incurred at the peninsula's best liquor store and premier scotch destination.
