Got the songs ordered!
BK, you may have gotten my two or three aborted attempts last night in addition to the one I just completed. Sorry about that!
Anyway, the checkmarked selections on the Sami site apparently do NOT carry over into Venmo, which insists that you write something in the box or you simply can't go on.
Speaking of which, it's bizarre that Venmo defaults to making the content of everyone's orders
public -- meaning, I could see what George and singdaw and someone else had written and requested. It kind of looked like a comments section at first, then I realized I was seeing their orders. So if any of them had written anything additional to BK that wasn't meant to be posted publicly, too bad. To test this, I believe I caught the public/private/friends selector and made mine private -- just because, since I wasn't writing anything personal anyway. But I wanted to try it.
Bottom line, for my purposes I'm not enamored of Venmo thus far. It seems geared toward being an informal "social" way of passing money around for today's generation of younger people who want everything they do shared publicly or with friends. Coincidentally, I had just been told that the concessions at last week's show had taken Venmo for dozens of transactions. That blows my mind, but apparently people never have their phone out of their hand, and/or they don't carry a few dollars cash for anything. One of the new normals?
