Brisket on Nostr: I needed a new wheel for my garden trailer plus some stuff to service my daughter's ...
I needed a new wheel for my garden trailer plus some stuff to service my daughter's car. I drove 30 mins to the shops & realised I'd left my wallet at home.
Going home to get my wallet would waste an hour & a fair bit of diesel.
I went through the apps on my phone. None of my credit cards are in my phone & Aqua lost their Dolphin card
I had Bitrefil installed. Searched for gift cards & found both stores had them available. Yipee
At the auto shop it was quiet so I explained to the guy that I'd forgotten my wallet & needed to buy a gift card. He was chill as I added the voucher to my cart & paid for it with lightning. No problems with either stores.
Bitcoin got me out of a pickle. 🤙
