Default So today

A lady went through her whole wallet of credit cards trying to find one that would work. She acted as though this was a normal problem. Of course teh old people behind her were pissed.

Did you use the put-a-pastic-bag-over-it trick?


Somehow my cards always get scratched all to shit even though I try to keep them clean. It is a common problem, for me anyway...

Whenever I walk into a grocery store to go shopping I always check my debit card balance at the store's ATM. Debit cards sometimes go screwy. This way I can avoid any embarassment at the checkout, or any cashiers posting about me online.

I keep track of the balance, but for some reason sometimes they don't work. One time I was buying groceries, I knew I had plenty of money in the account, and my card kept getting declined. After swiping and typing in my PIN like 4 times they they ran it as a credit card instead of debit and it worked. So now it's become a habit of mine to check the atm.

No, this was a credit card because debit cards don't bring up a "over limit" code.

And I don't need the plastic bag trick because I'm intelligent and can put in the expiration date/number and it works. But only for credit.

The worst are the foodstamp cards. The one lady folded hers in half and was like "no work, no work, type in!" and then the one cut it down the long way because she said it fit in her pocket better. lol I don't care but other customers get pissy.

The worst payment of all is the WIC check....good lord are those cumbersome.
