A Sign That Common Sense Already Checked Out
(I’m cashing out a customer.)
Me: “Debit, credit, or cash?”
Customer: “Here is my card.” *puts it on the table*
Me: “Okay, you can just insert, swipe, or tap whenever you’re ready.”
Customer: “No, I just sign something.”
Me: “You sign the receipt, but you have to insert, swipe, or tap it first.”
Customer: “No! I just sign something!”
Me: “Okay, so, in order for you to sign the receipt, you have to insert your card.”
(The customer continues to refuse, and there is a line growing, so I swipe his card, it goes through, and the receipt prints. I normally don’t like to swipe a customer’s card, because I tapped a customer’s card once and they freaked out, because they didn’t know they had tap and thought I knew their pin.)
Customer: “There! That I sign!”
