I was a waitress a guy came in with two kids. They got a pizza and a few other things. The bill was like $25. He gives me a card, it's declined. I tried it twice, nothing. He looked embarrassed and horrified. He pulled out $12 said he was so sorry it's all he has. I said don't even worry about it just keep it. I was just going to pay it myself. He said thank you so much I'll bring it back to you when I get paid. I said don't worry about it. I really didn't want the $ back. A few days later I'm at home a girl I work with calls. Said a guy left an envelope for me. I was curious so I go get it. It was $100 and a thank you note. I felt bad that he came back for that. I really wasn't worried about it. I would hope if me or one of my kids was in that situation someone would help. 💕

That first one was beautiful. I love when people do stuff like that for other people. Mine is a second hand experience from when my best friend was a Wal-Mart cashier. A man comes up to the counter with over $500 of food and necessary items like TP, toothpaste, etc. because something (I cant remember what though) happened and he had to replace all of it. His card was declined three times, and she said how he looked like he was about to burst into tears. Then, a man came up and paid for the man's entire purchase. The customer, now in tears, cried and thanked him for what he did. She said that her faith in humanity was restored that day.

I used to not understand as a kid, seeing people get their cards declined then freaking out like it was the end of the world. Then, one dark and gloomy night at a Kum&Go, I was getting ready to buy a sandwich and my card was declined. It was just me and the cashier, yet I felt the tension of a thousand people staring down my neck. I started sweating, the cashier glanced up at me, I put a remorseful grin on and tried again, and it worked. And that brief amount of anxiety was enough to tell me everything. *Don't get card shamed, make sure you have money in your account brothers.*

So I just kinda shrug and say I don't know or "Could be any number of things." I mean, I really don't know, and it could be any number of things; I'm just not allowed to list those things. For real, though: Cashiers don't get to see your bank info when you swipe your card. We don't know why it's declining, only that you're showing your whole rear end to everyone in line when you act like a fool because you think I somehow know the answer to your money issues and you're upset that you don't have the instant gratification of purchasing whatever it is you wanted.

I know right!? At the store I work at, about 75% of our "Declined" cards are just the computer system acting up. Usually it'll go through on the second try. Our system has a few different codes that pop up if a card is declined, but the only ones we understand are "Insufficient Funds," or "Card Expired." Other than that, it's stuff like "Declined 4A" or "Declined 3F5" and we have no idea what it means. Typically the first thing I do - if it still won't work after swiping it again - is ask if they just bought gas, because in my town, it's common for people to stop by the gas station after work and then the grocery store. A lot of times, that's what's causing it. A lot of banks automatically put a 30-minute hold on a card that was used to buy gas. I don't know exactly why, but they do. If that's not it, I tell them they can try to withdraw cash from our free ATM (given that they're using a debit card), or call their bank/credit card company to verify what the issue is. Other than that, there's not much we can do for them.

He kept asking. I kept telling. 5 or more times. Turns out the previous rep put the card # in wrong. This call got escalated & I had to hear about from my manager. He even said, "That guy was being a dick." When they told me the previous rep mis-keyed the card #, never mind that they didn't follow our procedure to repeat the card #, they just said 'try reinputting the card next time. I explained there's no way I could've known the previous rep made a mistake with the card #. That escalated call still stayed on my report & I ended up getting fired. Not for that, for specifically following orders that turned out not to work for the co. Transamerica sucks!

People always want to do this weird flex thing when they have their card declined. "I'm sorry, your card was declined." "There's thousands of dollars in there! How is that possible?" "I don't know. Let's try one more time, it might be the machine." "Obviously!" Once, I had a woman yell that we were stealing because she just got a notification from her bank. It wasn't until she tried to show my manager the message did she finally read the notification was actually trying to inform her that her card was declined.

platapusdemon I think some people were never taught how to properly shop and wait until they’re at the register to start doing the math or don’t do it at all. I.e sticking to a list, budgeting, keeping track/comparing prices, using coupons, and prioritizing items isn’t really taught in schools. It’s also looked down upon as you being too poor to shop “normally” (honestly it’s the smarter way to shop I don’t know when financial literacy became lame). I mean I get it, sometimes you just don’t have the money to get what you need and that’s unfortunate and shouldn’t be the case. But sometimes people aren’t spending their money wisely and that frustration should not be projected on cashiers. We aren’t the masters of your credit cards, we don’t decide if it goes through or not nor is it our fault if it doesn’t.

Back when I worked at Dollar Tree I was told to never tell a customer their card was declined. “It’s embarrassing.” So when the declines popped up I would just say “error, try again.”

Reminds me of a joke: A guy wakes up from a bender in his own bed, with a glass of water & 2 aspirin on his night stand, his clothes neatly laid out. He stumbles down stairs & sees his son enjoying a deliciously prepared breakfast his wife made for the both of them. He asks, "Son, what's going on?" He says, "Dad, you came home drunk last night, wrecked the car in the garage, broke the umbrella stand on the way in, and were being a dick to mom." "Where is she? Why isn't she here yelling at me?" Oh, she went to the store. When she took you upstairs and started getting you undressed for bed, you said, "Leave me alone, lady! I'm married!"

The first one has me crying. It reminded me of when something similar happened to my family and me, over a decade ago. I was in 4th grade and it was the second day of school when we were out as my parents tried to figure everything out. I never saw them cry then and even now my mom gets emotional but she still doesn't shed a tear when she's around us. I also remember my dad's first words to my brother and I as we ran up to him after having gotten off the bus, "We lost everything." If you've ever helped anyone out in any way after their house has burned down then you're a saint and I hope everything in your life goes well. 💜 (Edit: you know what I also remember? The bus driver driving slowly by on the way back [i live in a cul-de-sac] while everyone in the bus just stared. it felt like they were at the zoo and we were the animals. So screw that specific bus driver because all others I've had were amazing.)

She decided to charge me at only her cost ..Later, I found out that I didn’t need a dry cleaner, but we were all just trying to get something done so I would feel like I still owned things. I had my car and a good job, but I was so stunned by the news that I would have been walking around like a zombie without both of those women. Then we got yelled at for 2 of us leaving work. Oh well.

I ran all the cards but none of them would go through. The lady looked towards the theater where her kids had already entered and just sighed. Ive definitely seen my own mother there, and I know money is tight when you have that many kids and you still want them to be able to go out and do things. I ended up just pretending like I rang her card handing her a blank receipt and telling her not to worry about it. I knew I could lose my job. I was willing to lose my job over that lady I had never met. I know that feeling she felt

I have SEVERAL stories of bad customers and just bad experiences. But this is a good one. I was working a shift one day and one of our regulars came in. Single father of 4 teenage boys. Uses food stamps. Every week he comes in and purchases over $100 in food. One time he came in and his EBT card physically broke when he dropped it. Our system wouldn't let us put it in manually. I'm trying everything I can and a line is building up. It killed me but I had to tell him there was nothing I could do and he would have to come back with another form of payment. He just sighed and nodded to say he understood and walked out. The guy behind him said "he sure has ALOT of food." I explained the situation and without missing a beat he runs outside and talks to him. Then they both come back in and he pays for his food so his boys can eat. Warmed my heart and made the hell hole of a shift worth it.

The last one was awesome and could have been my husband. He's done that a few times. We were stuck in a really bad spot and someone who worked at Walmart bought the food we needed when our card got declined. He got a better job and we are doing mych better and anytime this happens and he is there he always pays for them.

It doesn't happen anymore but man I cannot tell you how often I would go food shopping and get declined. It is the most painful feeling in the world especially when you have people to feed. Thankfully though things are getting a little better now. But as a disabled mom when your card gets declined you blame yourself, hardcore blaming happens.

I used to work at a CVS and we would sometimes have problems with cards that were unable to be read properly. If you can't swipe a card there is a way to manually enter the numbers using the touch pad, but most cashiers don't seem to know how to do this any more. It works even if the magnetic stripe gets messed up or the card gets bent, you just have to read the numbers and expiration date off of the card.

I'm a chain convenience store cashier, and we actually have no way to manually enter a card at all. Our corporate office deliberately removed that feature a few years ago for the reason given in the other reply. However, our pads can still allow chip cards to be swiped after a certain number of fails.

Usually, when someone’s card declines, I will redirect them to the pin pad that says “declined” and tell them a problem happened. Before we got chip readers, the most common cause for a declining card was someone trying to run credit as a debit, which declines by default, but will work if run as a credit like its meant to be run. Most people don’t get that far because they realize their credit card doesn’t have a pin, but some people are just in auto mode and enter a pin they have on a different card.

I once had a guy with 4 rejected credit cards lecturing me about how wealthy he was and how I should be looking up to him. Eventually cursed me out and just started announcing how he had more money than i would ever see before walking out.

This happen a few years ago. I was on my way home as I was told to pickup some milk after I got what was asked I when though a self serve counter. young mother was attempting to buy baby formula her card declined as I finished with my item I asked her who much was the item she said 20 bucks and without hesitation I tapped my card on the efpos do hicky and paid for her, best feeling ever

I had my card declined before and it was kind of funny. My brother visited with his wife and daughter, they lived 6 hours away, and my niece liked some toy I had. I didn't play with it but still wanted to keep it so asked her parents if I could take her to the mall and get her some. They said yes so we went. Looked at several stores but couldn't find the ones she liked. I was young, had a decent job, and no real bills so had more money than I needed, no not a lot but like I said no bills. So as we walked the mall looking since she was my only niece I basically bought her anything she wanted, and not just for her. She asked if she could get her parents a present, she asked not just said I want to get them that so no she wasn't spoiled. Eventually my card got declined. I wasn't even close to my limit so wasn't sure why and before cellphones were common so couldn't call. When I got home I had a message from my credit card company to call them. Turned out since a lot of purchases I don't usually make all happened in a short time they thought it was stolen lol. Never found the exact toys we went for so I think I just gave mine to her.

Absolutely, 100%. I'll take the hassle of an over-sensitive fraud detection over getting robbed any day.

My card used to get declined all the time when I was poor. I wasn't balancing my checkbook, I'd just go to the grocery store and cross my fingers, hoping I could get away with something to eat. Sometimes I could get away with getting food or gas if something else hadn't cleared yet. Back then I knew that gas stations only took a dollar out at first to make sure the card worked, then pushed the rest through a few days later. I was robbing Peter to pay Paul. It felt like stealing but I was desperate. It was definitely the low point in my life. I developed what I call "checkout anxiety" from it. Never knowing if my card was going to be declined in front of everyone else in line. That was 10 years ago. Fast forward to a few months ago. I'm doing really well financially and I make sure to track every single penny that goes in or out of my checking account. I know how much I have to spend, to the penny. I'm at Petsmart to get cat food and my card is declined. I'm like "no way. the money is there" but that anxiety hits me again. I try again. Declined. I try swiping instead of the chip. Declined. Now I'm freaking out. I decide to head to the grocery store to buy a soda and see if it works. Declined. I try swiping. Declined. I start getting fraud alert texts on my phone. I reply that all attempted transactions were mine. Now I'm in a panic. It's grocery day and I can't use my card. I can't get food. So I head to the bank and take out cash. I tell the teller what's going on and they're stumped. There's no notes in my file about anything. No hold on my card. I try the card a few days later. Declined. Swipe. Declined. Fraud alerts on my phone again. Turns out the chip broke somehow. Ordered a new card and it's fine again. But man...those few days were filled with really nasty flashbacks. It was awful.

Not sure if this counts, but a few years back, my parents and I went to iHop. As we went in, a little old lady- maybe around 50/60 ish years old- was trying to get herself up onto the curb so that she could go in as well, and she was struggling to balance herself. My dad, being the gentleman that he is, helped her. We didn't think much about it. We got seated quickly and were already halfway through our breakfast by the time the same old lady gets sat down in a booth just a few feet away from our table (it's sad to think she had to wait so long). We saw her trying to order things off the menu, showing her purse to the waitress, and the waitress (who felt really bad for her) told her that the most they could give her for what money she had was a biscuit with a sausage patty in it. That's a tiny kids meal with little to no flavor and was in no way filling. The old lady looked disappointed but didn't complain and thanked her anyway. My dad flagged the waitress down and discreetly told her to give the lady the large breakfast sampler that had eggs, hashbrowns, toast with jelly, and sausage, along with a coffee and a side of pancake, saying he'd take care of the bill. The waitress did it, keeping us anonymous. When the waitress brought the food out and the old lady looked so shocked and asked her to take it back because she can't afford it. The waitress told her that some other diners ordered it for her so she could enjoy a nice breakfast and the lady nearly cried. (My dear mother is an absolute crybaby and had to excuse herself to dry her tears in the bathroom.) The three of us watched her tear that entire breakfast platter up like there was no tomorrow and she only left a part of the pancake and a bit of hashbrown. She savored every bite. As we left, I decided to hang back outside just out of curiosity, and the waitress and the lady were talking. I couldn't hear them cus I was outside, but the waitress pointed to our cleared table and thethe lady looked at it and grabbed the waitress's hands and said something to her. Once again, I don't know what she said but I can assume it was something good from the look on their faces. I'm as much of a crybaby as my mother, by the way. I cried on my way home. I don't think anyone else in the diner noticed besides the waitresss. I don't even think my parents remember this. But I do. I hope that woman has been having a good life since then.

There was this arm at our 7-11 that we always loved using. When it first happened the 7-11 worker said nothing they could do about it. So what happened was that there was a 20$ bill left in the tray. So we thought a person forgot it. But it happened a few times. It even gave us 20$ more than what we asked for and more then the receipt said so we again told the 7-11 worker since there was no number on the atm to call. It happened all summer. It was the only atm in our town that was fee free if you had an account with our bank. And all of a sudden that atm left shortly after school started. My hubby also said he saw the machine shoot a twenty out while he was walking to it to use and there was nobody there and nothing on the screen. So it seems that it just shoots twenties every now and then. It gave us 60$ total to us over time.

I have had one time where the customer's card didn't go through the first time. (Happens all the time) i asked the customer to swipe again and he started accusing me of charging him twice. He continued berating me with swear words and saying he was going to sue the company if there was a dime extra added to the transaction. The thing is, this was the last day the business would ever be open because we were going bankrupt. By the end I was so stressed out and holding back tears. But as he was leaving I got the nerve to tell him he should come the next day even though both of us knew very well that the business would not be open...

You could see their head implode.

I have so so many stories to tell there was the lady who's card kept getting declined she insisted I must be doing something to cause it because I kept hitting a button before her card would go through I was hitting the debit button to process her card. Another lady was complaining the whole time in line and while I was ringing her up can't remember about what so when her card declined she threw the biggest bitch fit and she had reusable bags so she just dumped all her stuff on the floor to get her bags so while I was cleaning it up I said I hope your day is as pleasant as you are she got pissed and said well then I'll have a great day I hope you have a shitty day lol. But mostly I have people say what? My card CAN'T be declined I have money see? Proceeds to show me their bank account which has a lot of money in it. Me: ok but your card is still not working.

The man buying the dog food just warmed my heart

my credit union's fraud alert is so sensitive, if I use my debit card on a purchase that's over 200 dollars, at a store I don't frequently shop at, it'll decline it, then I'll get an automated phone call about a minute later, asking if this particular transaction was legitimate. So basically if I want to upgrade my desktop PC and go to microcenter for new components, I already know I'm gonna have to go through that shit, since I maybe shop there once or twice a year.

I don't work register, I happened to be the next person that needed to check out. This one time a guy was trying to buy a pack of cigarettes. He tried using three different gift cards to pay for it but they all declined. He tried to use his bank card, it was also declined. I was with my parent and he looked at us and asked "One of ya'll wanna help?" My parent and I both shook our heads. Normally I'm a generous person and am willing to pay for another person but he was trying to buy cigarettes. As a medic, I don't encourage bad habits like that so there was no way I was gonna pay for it. He then said "C'mon, what would Jesus do?" And without missing a beat, I said "Not buy cigarettes." He called me and my parent heartless and left. I retold the story to my coworkers and they all had the same response to the Jesus question.

There are to option when paying with a card in germany: If you sign the receipt, your balace wont be checked. It's faster and cheaper for the store. The other option is that you have to insert your pin and it will check if you have enough money in your account. That takes longer and the transaktion fees are higher. Gas stations etc have usually option b, because of the rather higher prices of gas here (~100$ for a full tank). So I was working in a supermarket and a known junkie couple comes to me to the check out with a lot of brand stuff, frozen cake (~$20), other food, but nothing basic like bread etc. They have to insert their pin and of course the card is declined. They actually ask me to make it so that they can sign! They knew, that they don't have any money and wont most likely be able to ever pay it, when the bank would try to get it from them. So I tell them that I can't change it manually and that my check out will memorize their card, so trying it again wont change that either. Their solution was to try it on the next check out, but I had to explain that it is one system and that their balance will be checked every time on every of our check outs. They left all their stuff and never came back.

I visited an old college buddy in the Dallas area many years ago, and we went to an upscale mall on Saturday afternoon. While there, the computer center where VISA charges were approved and processed crashed. And charges just didn't go through - they were rejected as insufficient credit on the cards. An actual wave of sound from yelling and shrieks of indignation rolled through the entire mall. It was amazing!

Can someone explain to me how one doesn't know your bank account is empty and still tries to go shopping? I'm 17 so I don't pay bills yet, but I work 40 hours a week and pay for car insurance and gas money, so for me it is obvious to check how much money I have before I go shopping.

Most of these declines are on credit cards. People who have masses of credit cards don't check the limits because they probably either have no intention of paying them back, or are too foolish to realize they will have to pay it back. Bank declines can be a variety of reasons. Yes, a good portion probably just don't check (a bad thing to do). But you can also get caught by surprise. Miss-timing an automatic payment, get hacked, bank errors, getting a false fraud flag, paycheck didn't deposit, etc. When you get to a point in your life when you are constantly busy, it is easy to just assume the account is ok.

There are other reasons a credit card gets declined that have nothing to do with not having enough money. Common examples include buying something worth more than $100 in a store where you don't normally shop, or making purchases outside of your state on a trip away from home. The fraud detection algorithms used by the banks can be a little touchy.

That was the Best End to a Story I have heard in a long while. Warms my heart to see there are still good people out there. (I lost everything in a fire, it's so hard starting over).

I once managed to de-magnetize my card with my work nametag when I worked at Target. I didn't realize that I did, until I was out of state, at a convention, with no way to pull out cash except go to a Chase Bank three cities away. I got the cash, and dude I was trying to buy stuff from kicked me out of his booth because he didn't want to deal with a declined card again, even though I had cash. Literally went through hell to pull out $100 to be turned away. Oof. I once had a dude steal a nerf gun from GameStop when I worked there, because his card declined and he thought I was judging him. I didn't judge him until he walked out of the store flipping me off with a $7 clearance nerf gun under his arm.

18:35 I can already hear the "Hi I'm John Quiñones and this is What Would You Do? And Why did you help a stranger?"

That first story, wherever you are, thank you ❤

On the other side you have cashiers blaming the customers for faulty machines. A few weeks ago that happened at the grocery store, as soon as I stuck the card in it returned an error. I'd used my card not long before that, I'd checked my bank balance not long before. It wasn't like a delay then a decline, I stuck it in and it declined immediately so it should have been obvious. On the 3rd try it ran, she didn't apologize, I never went back.

In tears from the dog food one omg

I only had this once at Panda Express and I was so happy to just have one single $20 note on hand to get out of that situation. Card proceeded to work in every other store, so I guess it was their system.

Same. I loved that story.

Last year I was a freshman in college. 18 years old, first time away from home. I took the bus to the store to get some Halloween stuff. Get to the register to pay, card's declined. Turns out I didn't know how PayPal works and you have to set it up with your bank to transfer money into your acct, etc etc. Anyways, I had to leave my stuff and I went into the bathroom and sobbed. For like 20 minutes. My aunt called me while I was crying (because my dad told her what happened) and she talked me through it so I could stop crying enough to ride the bus back to my dorm. But once I got back I went to bed and cried even more. I grew up poor, like utilities getting shut off every few months and having to make arrangements with the electricity people to not get our power shut off type poor. So that moment was really awful for me, it took me back to wanting to buy things at the store as a kid and being told no every single time because we simply couldnt afford it. But that experience has made me insanely careful with my money now. I always check and make sure I have enough before I go shopping.

I locked my card to keep myself from overspending thinking to use only the cash in my wallet.... forgot as I kept getting declined.. . No problem I have 2 other credit cards.... yeah I'm all kinds of not bright 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

Who is old enough to remember when you could still buy groceries with a check and if it bounced they would display it to embarrass you? It still lives in in a classic Seinfeld episode

worked in a butcher years ago the amount of people getting declined from purchasing stuff costing under 5 dollars astounds me.

I felt sad for the family in the first story. But it warmed my heart that the manager helped them out.

I had a card declined during grocery shopping; found out Chase had stopped an overdraft on my card caused by a thief who stole my card and took their girl to Miami with my stolen card information. They didn't make it passed $120 and Chase refunded the whole thing as a first time theft. I now carry a scan proof wallet and avoid card readers notorious for theft hardware

Working at a movie theatre in the 90s, when you were asked to randomly call the bank to verify. Nothing malicious, plenty of funds in account, just a quick phone call. 99.9%, customers understood. One snotty customer became aggressive, claiming his daily limit was $$$$ etc. etc. Even after explaining this is a bank thing, not our theatre thing, he was still being a jerk. After the bank authorized the sale, he huffed with a sneering comment. Okay, game on! Me: Two tickets? Who is the other ticker for? Customer: My son. Me: How old is he? Customer: 16. Me: I'm sorry, sir. The movie is rated X. I cannot legally sell you a ticket for him. Customer: Well, he's almost 17. Me: Doesn't matter. You told me he's 16. I must refuse sale. Blah Blah Blah random insult before storming off.

From all the time I was a cashier I never witnessed one of this wholesome stories about people helping other people pay, oh no, I only got the crazy ones who would snap and yell at me that I was for sure doing it on purpose....yeah, because that's what cashiers want, to go mess with strangers and their stupid cards.

I was 23 years old, and had lost my job. I was humiliated when my Visa card was declined when I was buying a much needed pair of shoes. The cashier was kind and polite. I choked up and excused myself as inconspicuously as I could. I had to go to my job interview wearing non-office-worthy shoes, but I got the job. Phew.

The orange store story made me happy.

Customer had just filled out a finance application... declined. He had a sub-400 score. I didn’t think that was possible. So he pulls out his card... also declined. So he goads his wife into filling out a loan app. She was a homemaker. Never had a job. She had no credit history... meaning a number didn’t even register. In this case it’s nothing to be ashamed of, but she was so embarrassed that she made a bee-line for the exit. All the while he’s badgering me about what I can do to fix this for him. Uh, guy, you’ve had four bills in your life and you haven’t paid a single one. This isn’t a “me problem”

That last one made me tear up

I was at a Dollar General once and needed some basic items like bread, sugar etc. Well, when I went to checkout I realized I forgot my food stamp card. The cashier lady paid for me out of pocket. It was only maybe 20 dollars but it still made my day.

One time at Dunkin Donuts my card was declined and the lovely person behind me payed for my coffee and sandwich!

I got my card declined at a fast food joint, first time it ever happened (thankfully, I had savings in another account) so I naturally panicked. The cashier patiently waited while I stopped freaking out and paid for what I could in cash while reassuring me everything would be fine, then she proceeded to bring out my full order (just 1 extra sandwich). Bless her heart.

All three of my jobs have been cashiering and every time I have to tell someone that I get so nervous. So far nothing like these

Ok, that last one made me tear up

Yep. That happens all the time in places that sell gift cards. We have a hard and non-negotiable limit of $500 in cards (gift cards, general-purpose reloadable, etc) to one person in one day. Also people buy gift cards, spend 90% of the value, try and return for full value, which is why we had to make all cards non-returnable.

I just cried. Trying to buy my kid a birthday present. We cried, and I went and got money from the house.

Jesus. The first one hurt. I've lost everything before and wow I hope the workers in that story have things go well for them

That first one made me tear up a bit tbh.

i work at chick-fil-a and sometimes when the people outside who take orders with an ipad swipe cards, they get declined and won’t show up on the ipad, so we have to tell the people at the window. This one lady regularly came in at lunch, would swipe her card outside, and expect it to go through without charging to her account. This is not the case. Every single time she came she would throw a fit, and on multiple occasions we would hand the food out of the window before asking for payment, and she would throw it back through the window at us. so yeah

Amazing first story!

I heard an epic story on Reddit about a cashier that stopped a family from using a stolen card. They had purchased a shit ton of stuff and wanted to return it and they wanted cash, by they weren't getting it. The money would be put back on the card and they couldn't have physical money

My first job we had this gentleman come into our fast food place and tried to get the cheapest thing on the menu. Like a dollar cheeseburger and a fry. He didn’t have enough change. He was clearly homeless, probably drunk but I told my manager to let him get whatever he wanted and I would pay for it. As I left work that day he was sitting there eating his food and I gave him some apple pies to eat too. He came in once a week for almost a month and each time I happily paid for his whole meal no matter what it was.

That last one got me, I understand all to well..

When I was a manager at a liquor store, we had a regular lady who was a Bi**h. She bounced a check there once and from then on, we didn't allow her checks. Well one day she didn't have her card, she went off on my employee. I came up and said ma'am you remember when I had to go to your house for your bad check? Well yeah but I paid that, she said. Me: you will never write a check here again, what about your debit card? Lady: I'm going to call your boss. Me: hes right here... My boss: said lady you aren't welcome here anymore.

first one actually made me choke up a bit...i too worked at the big orange and had a few times people come through my line where they were having a bad day and my ability to toss them a bone made their day better...my favorite was when i worked at the most advance of parts places and a gentleman came in with his daughter, who he just got custody of that day and not more than an hour prior, came in looking for a part to get his car back running (i dont remember the part off hand, but it was something related to the ignition system)...we had the part but it was $50 (ish) and he said he couldnt afford it right now...i asked how he was getting home with his daughter, and he said they were staying at a hotel provided by his aunt who worked there...i said i was sorry and he said he didnt mind, he had his daughter and that is all that mattered to him and then he walked out...out came my wallet, my cc, and i bought that father his part...i chased him down across the parking lot of the near by dennys and handed him the part and a $20 bill to take his kid to dinner on me...i struggled for 14 years to get custody of my daughter...i knew his pain... not looking for kudos...just never had a place to tell that one...im getting choked up typing this...i hope they are well! EDIT: last one choked me up too...i must be getting soft in my old age...

Fine jewelry saleswoman here. Sometimes soldiers come for gold chains and we have to let them know when they decide on the chain that they should alert their bank they're going to make a big purchase because: A) bank will halt all big and unusual purchases. B) call center might not pick up right away. C) forces customer to pay with Card 1, Buddy 1's card, and whatever change is in their pockets and between car seat cushions, and Buddy 2's card.

Never fails when you get an old person in line, the card declines, then they accuse you of trying to steal their money. I will never forget that lady at my very first job, I was young and had no self-esteem at the time. She was all happy and bubbly, but as soon as her card declined, she started screaming at me how I was trying to steal her money and she didn't trust me. She goes over to customer service which was only several feet away from my register, gets my manager, and proceeds to scream across the whole store that I was trying to steal her money. I was so humiliated at the time.

One time my card was declined 3x but it was just the machine. It worked when I shoved the card in and held it as hard as I could while it processed.

My very first job as a young teen at a grocery store. Had a lady come up. Rung her up with no problems. She tried to swipe her card, declined. I tried to help her but it declined a few more times. She lost it. She stood there yelling at me how I was trying to steal her information. Goes over to customer service (which is at the front of the store several feet from my register), gets a manager, then starts yelling across the store at me accusing me of trying to steal her information. Manager comes over like it's my fault, tried to swipe her card a few times, declined. Then the lady turned on her and started yelling at her that she was trying to steal her information. She left the store mad at us thinking we were trying to steal her money. Crazy lady

That 1st story shows me that I can still have faith in humanity

Had it happen to me. If it's my credit card, I laugh it off and make a joke about forgetting to make a payment. If it's my debit card, I rightly freak the fuck out and call the bank. Lol
