This Is Why We’re In A Recession, Part 75

(I work as a phone banker, specifically dealing with credit cards. I get an interesting call from a younger woman, asking about why her purchase isn’t going through.)

Customer: “Why isn’t my charge going through?”

Me: “The transaction you’re trying to run is for $2,000; you only have a credit limit of $300.”

Customer: “You’re telling me I can’t charge more than $300? What’s the point of a credit card if I can’t go over the credit limit?”
