RE: Interogation???

Hi Dora,

Debit is taken directly out of your checking account. It IS confusing now

that I think about it. Because that same card that you use as a debit (you

have to punch in your PIN number) can also be used as a credit card, and it

STILL comes out of your checking account. lol The only real difference is

putting in your PIN or not, and signing the sales slip or not.

Yesterday I was shopping.I bought some socks at a department store.I handed

them ,along with my credit card ,to the cashier.Then the questions began.

Do you want to contribute to autism research?No(I feel that the store should

take a % out of sales ..not ask the customer to donate}

Do you want your receipt in your bag?I said " yes "

Then...this was a new one to me...Is it a credit or debit? I had her repeat

that as i wasn't sure I had understood her correctly.I had!!

I thought for awhile .then said it's a credit isn't it??

Then again she asked " Do you want your receipt in your bag?I said " I already

told you " YES "

Then " What is your telephone #?I gave her that.

I said " you certainly ask alot of questions!! "

I was puzzled about the debit or credit question so i asked HER what the

difference is.She said..if it is a debit I didn't need to sign a slip.If a

credit I needed to sign.

Shopping gets more confusing every day!!

Dora,

I agree, let the store make the contributions., Sheesh, that would

ruffle my feathers.

Is it a credit or debit card? I usually beat them to the answer and

tell them. But, there are some who suggest signing the debit receipt as

well, to avoid the possibility of anyone stealing your PIN #. Also, I check

the receipt to make sure the card number is masked. If it isnt, the store

had damn well better fix that asap.

Shopping gets really bad when they start installing touch screens that

are not accessible. That is when I tell them I am signing the debit

receipt.
