No wonder someone keeps saying “bummer” every time it declines.

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•23 days ago

Lol

Swipe it again. Chip side up. Chip side down. Rub it 3 times and a genie will appear. 😁

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•24 days ago

And that genie will pay for my purchase, right??

PULL IT. You forgot that one silly. It’s always pull it!

DAMMIT. I always forget that one! You'll have to come with the next time I go shopping.

suzijustkindperson.bsky.social•24 days ago

Oh my that is me too.

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•24 days ago

It's so confusing, right?

I think it's more of a graceful spin it... Situation. I tend to spin it various directions hoping I don't have to bop, twist or throw it.

All the above

Don't forget to bend your card as hard as you can whilst attempting to use the CONTACTLESS scanner.

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•24 days ago

It sounds...kinda dangerous theree, Nevermade. 🤨

nevermademovies.bsky.social•24 days ago

I work retail. You'd be amazed how some people abuse their cards. I've seen them literally bent into a C-shape where people are trying to get the pad to read them... Usually when the ''Pay by Credit/Debit'' option hasn't been activated so the reader isn't even on...

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•24 days ago

Oh, no. They'll need to learn the hard way what happens when you break your card.

Did you try the hokey pokey?

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•24 days ago

Lol. No, but that's a good one. I'm sure they won't mind.

First, I reached the point where I no longer had the attention span for cash. Now, the card acrobatics—just chip me and end my misery.

marvelousmimi.bsky.social•24 days ago

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•24 days ago

Ooh! Good for you, skythinker. That's thinking outside of the box!

minisaltine.bsky.social•24 days ago

Sometimes I forget it’s not 1993 and try handing it to a cashier and they are appalled.

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•23 days ago

Lol. I'm imagining that! It's the same look I get when I hand them cash.

brad-of-kauai.bsky.social•23 days ago

Wave it in the air like you just don't care.😶

I’m worse than you,,,,,DO NOT put your debit card in an atm that is not ON, black screen is bad.

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•23 days ago

Okay...I'll remember that!

zonkerharris.bsky.social•24 days ago

Does yours light up & make noises when you do?
I'd like mine to, but it only takes money away from me & that makes me sad.

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•23 days ago

Yeah (sighs) that would be nice if it could at least entertain us as it takes our money...
