Some people just like it for the convenience (real or otherwise) or simply because it's available, convenient and a small luxury and they can have one for a few bucks. That being said, in my car the card does not work through the window at ANY gate and I like the "luxury" of not having to open the window. Makes me feel "privileged." Well worth the cost. I don't smoke or drink, I live in a 1200 sq ft 2/2 and drive a Kia so the 10's of thousands of dollars I have "saved" over my lifetime allows me to be extravagant with a $20-$50 gimmick.

Not referring to you but it is sad that there are SO MANY people around here who judge others for what they spend their money on in this and other topics because THEY feel it isn't necessary yet spend THEIR MONEY on other totally unnecessary stuff. What is the saying about "judging others" or maybe it's about "glass houses" ?
Thanks. I had hoped no one would think I was judging anyone for purchasing anything but that has been the trend on TOTV. Ask an honest question or be curious and get reamed for doing so.
