Mother's Day Follow-up

A quick follow-up to my earlier Mother's Day post...our jPOS-enabled payment switch (acquirer side) continued to see big volume increases over Mother's Day weekend.  We topped a million on Saturday on OLS.Switch and, more notably, almost 800,000 on the big day itself.  If you compare that number to the previous Sunday, you can  make a reasonable assumption that about 150,000 panicky sons and daughters across this fine country piled into stores desperately seeking that last minute token of gratitude to stay in Mom's good graces for one more year. 

That 914,077 average for the week is an all-time high.
