[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 1763990, member: 1242"] Good Lord, I hope GC doesn't see this ... he only gets allowance once a month ... But then, I only get allowance once a month also ... what's fair's fair. I used to use plastic ... a lot. Now I write checks or pay cash, mostly pay cash. Day before yesterday I broke down and used my card at Sonic. Fancy little machine at the window said "Approved, printing receipt ...". Girl at window tells me she needs my card as the transaction did not go through and she needs to swipe it again. Nope, nuthing doing ... Manager gets involved. Both of these kids appear to have made it out of high school, just not to have graduated from said high school. Exchange becomes rather testy as I refuse to hand over my bank card for another "go" at it. A few years back at McDonald's I had this same issue happen and I let them re-swipe my card. A few days later there were no less than a dozen transactions on my bank statement for the same burger and order of fries. Several phone calls to the franchisee's corporate office resulted in me vowing to NEVER darken the door to a McDonald's owned by that franchisee ever again. Anyway, I digress ... Guess what's showing on my bank account this morning?? Yep ... that's right ... the transaction at Sonic that "didn't go through" ... ARGHHH!!! I get it that the kids believed that the transaction didn't go through. What I don't get is that they thought I should just blindly hand over my card ... I swear, as God is my witness ... No cash in my pocket, no Sonic ... So ... I will just suck. I can live with that ... GC will be glad to hear this also ... :D Oh ... and I just got my new boxes of checks Saturday ... [/QUOTE]
