I work in a grocery store and I noticed this. Someone will push their cart in the way of someone who has to use the debit machine or they will walk up to the cash and stand right beside it, in the previous customer’s way. For God’s sake, have some manners and wait your turn!
yeah, when i was working in a grocery store i always had to laugh because the “undercover brothers” as we liked to call them were always following the people who looked quote unquote “sketchy” to them instead of the people who were blatantly stealing. they thought they were so clever, standing around, chatting with the service desk clerks like an employee, thinking no one would ever make the connection. at least 5 or 6 times ive seen them make a big scene, tearing across the parking lot after someone, just to find out they didnt even steal anything.they dont even call them security, they are “floorwalkers” bc thats all they do, walk on the floor. must be nice making like 15 bucks an hour doing that, i do actual work and i only get min wage.
I like when I’m handed my receipt and next in line guy/girl starts moving and here I am not even budging. My transaction is done when I put my wallet in my pocket and walk away with my bag of food goods, bitch. Sorry if I don’t scramble fast enough. Pabst Blue Ribbon!
I’m with you, Cranky. I’ve had these assholes nudging me with their fucking carts while I’m doing my debit transaction. I push their cart back far enough (with eye contact) to make the impatient prick or prickess mumble a very quick ‘Sorry’. Works for me.
The more impatient the person behind me, the longer I take to complete whatever it is I’m doing…Start getting huffy??? Oh I’ve got to do some transfers and balance inquiries… Jeez just remembered I have to do some banking for my buddy too… Hmm let me see now… * checking wallet, patting down pockets, mumbling, etc * “Where DID I put that card???”Now if I am waiting in line and YOU are fucking around up there with that ATM… Thats another story altogether…
Oh, Floyd, you made me snort beer out of my nose. That was rather uncomfortable.It’s so true, whether you want people to relax and wait their turn, or hurry the fuck up, is entirely dependent upon which foot the shoe is on.
After the Quinpool SS bitched plastic bags for some green publicity apparently shoplifting went way up as people were bringing in their own bags and filling them as they strolled thru the store and then walking out. So perhaps you are just under surveillance as a suspicious character.
Has anyone else noticed that cashiers have stopped running credit and debit cards through their POS machines? They’ll even go so far as to place the card in the swipey thing, and just leave it there for you to swipe???Off topic, I know. Sorry.
I asked about that. The cashier alerted me to a sticker that appeared to be from the machine maker that said that is a policy that more of the POS makers are wanting stores to do to cut down on fraud. I dont really see the difference unless the cashier was able to muck a card to place in front of mine. Sorta like a magician does when doing slight of hand tricks. I think that would be awkward to do with a harder plastic card as opposed to a playing card.
There was a cabbie doing something like this, where drunk people would give him their card, he would swipe it on his terminal, and watch them key in their PIN after he pocketed their card and handed back a stoled card from the same bank. Because they were drunk, the victims didn’t notice the switcheroo until they sobered up and the cabbie had withdrawn as much of their cash as he could. A little different scenario, but the moral of the story is: do not let your card leave your hand if you don’t have to. I think that is why the POS makers (Banks) want you to swipe your own card. A dishonest merchant could also skim your card info like they do with the fake bank machine attachments too. I guess they are issueing smart cards with a computer chip soon that is supposed to cut down on skimming-related fraud by encrypting the info on the card.
Aaahhh… lightbulb.I hadn’t thought of that lol, I thought the cashiers were being lazy…
I am guessing that is a great example of how easy it would be to switch cards.The more that i think about it, there really is no need to hand the card to them fucks anyways. I guess unless it is one of them tills that has the swiper thing on the terminal’s key pad. HOMIE WILL SWIPE HIS OWN GOD DAMN CARD NOW !!!!…see qwerty, this was enlightening.
Grow up
the irony.
Don’t you have someone to impersonate? Like… I don’t know, say… yourself???
So you have a problem with people who interfere with other people trying to comment on the OP. I comment on the OP, and you drag stuff from other posts in. It’s not the first time you’ve done it. Yet you wail and cry when it happens to you. Irony, huh?
i asked the cab driver on the way home if i could swipe my card. He had no problems with it. i was alerting you to the fact that you can converse in a diginified manner and cut the shit…..
Off topic from neck breathers, but on topic with the off topic subject of swiping cards…Same thing if you run a tab at a bar… As Hard as it is when you’re drinking, keep track of how much you spend.. I know bartenders who take advantage of drunk asses… run through more then what was actually spend, and HELLO, big tip for them…I’ve had it happen to me… And seen it happen to others….
I HATE when this happens, I put on my very “mean girl” face and stare them down until they are so uncomfortable they back the fuk up!!
