My visa debit card was declined today when I went to buy a wiper blade for £9.07. I was rather shocked and embarrassed as I knew I had enough fund to cover that.:blush: The chap ( who was older than me) said : "Don't worry Sir, it happens sometimes, we will try again but in the meantime, here is the decline receipt for your records".
When I looked down on the receipt, it said £90700.:eek: No wonder I was declined!! I told him to put his glasses on next time he enters a figure.

Just be glad you didn't have £91000 in your account!

Always had a problem with people taking the machine, as I was entering the amount, and entering their PIN number.
They never seemed to understand why it had been declined.

Its when they can't wait for the amount to be entered, the problem starts. It slows the whole process down.

0700, reckon its his PIN number?

My brother once left a " service charge" the size of his PIN after the unscrupulous twats at a restaurant had left it open on the machine. I visited the next evening and persuaded them they should refund it. It took a few minutes to convince them that it should have been obvious that a guy with obvious learning difficulties wouldn't have wanted to give them a tip over £4000 for a £50 meal. :cursing:
