[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 2432551, member: 26737"] Oh, I know why they do it, but if you're going to try to run it as a debit transaction regardless of which button I press, why even bother having separate credit and debit buttons on that screen? At least Home Depot gets it and runs it as a credit transaction when I hit cancel on the PIN screen. Of course, within a year or so, it'll no longer matter, as the processors will be forcing a move to the chip and PIN system the rest of the world uses... Thanks, Target, ya stupid jackwagons. Here's the process at Wal-Mart: Hit Finish and Pay. Press Credit. Swipe card. WM machine says, "hey, moron, you meant to push "Debit." Here's the PIN entry screen for a Debit." Cancel. WM machine says, "oh, I don't know how you want to pay. Cash, Credit, Debit, or Check?" Credit. WM machine says, "well, if you must. Sign here, selfish bastard." I skip step 2 (the false choice) by simply swiping my card. At least I don't gave to press "Credit" twice. Here's the process at Home Depot: Press "Finish and Pay." Swipe card. HD machine says, "this is a debit card. Got your PIN?" Cancel. HD machine says, "cool, I'll run it as credit. Sign here, please. Have a nice day!" [/QUOTE]
