Honesty? Honestly?

There’s an interesting show on fox called Lie to me (http://www.fox.com/lietome/).  The idea behind the show is that anytime someone lies there are tell tell signs.  Those signs may not be noticeable to the normal person, but to the trained eye, they are there.  Interesting concept, and I’m sure to a certain degree true.

We get a call from a branch location telling us their card reader isn’t working.  This is after I was there the day before and told them it wasn’t working.  Brilliant!  Anyhow, their card reader isn’t working and their “Tech guy”, how has a PhD in Technology (they were very specific in pointing this out my boss) said that the card reader wasn’t compatible with their computer.
