[USMA:28120] RE: Time

[Bill Potts]

I had a purge of my accumulated gas station receipts a few days ago. However, as far as I remember, they all use 24-hour time.   I just checked a credit card receipt from my local supermarket (Raley's). It show the time as 16:06:23. However, a recent Home Depot receipt shows the time in am/pm format.   Bill Potts, CMS Roseville, CA http://metric1.org [SI Navigator]     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of john mercer Sent: Friday, January 02, 2004 13:40 To: U.S. Metric Association Subject: [USMA:28118] Time Yesterday Doreen and i bought some gas for the car.  She used are bank card when we got the receit the time was in 24 hour mode.  I believe that most electronic cash registors give the times on receits in 24 hour time.  Even on my cell bill when it shows the times of calls they are in 24 hour.  In the states if you buy gas and use your bank card is the time on the receit  in 12 or 24 hour?  I would dare say that most people when they get a receit they don't even look at the time.  I have known about 24 hour time since i was a child.  My dad used to use it on our boat.  Cheers.
