When I was a cashier, the number of people who didn't know how to use a debit/credit terminal blew me away. I had an older man once who was paying with his debit card, and his daughter was there to help him. I asked him if it was debit or credit (we had an old system in which the cashier had to manually enter in the type of card on the register, if they didn't match it would cancel out). He told me it was Visa. I explained that was fine, but I needed to know if it was a credit purchase or coming out of his checking account. He said...It's Visa! After him yelling it was Visa a couple more times, I told his daughter to punch in credit because I obviously couldn't make him understand the difference.
Also...as soon as the communication between the terminal and whatever it connects to goes down, you realize how INconvienent plastic can be.
Thank gods I'm no longer in retail.
