There was another incident when I was shopping in TESCO
hypermart where this lady handed out her sole credit card to pay
off the amount of RM 666.22. She did not bring enough cash by the
way, only RM 50 in her purse.
When the cashier scanned and found that the card was rejected, she
acted surprised and asked the cashier to scan again. This process
went on 8 times, and the queue started to build up longer and
longer. She didn't even mind a bit and was making herself
comfortable and pretending that her credit card was usable.
No one in the line said anything about her and she started to turn
around and tell us, you have to wait ok, I am here first. Then she
turn around to her friend and said, you know this kind of cashiers
really dunno how to work, you must next time bring the exact change
for them, if not they don have the correct change for you, that's
why I use credit card nowadays. blablablabla... sounds like a
typical dato's wife.
Then finally when the credit card machine rejected her card for the
8th time, the cashier told her that she had better call the bank to
check up her card. She started scolding and blaming the cashier for
his incompetence quite loud. Can say the end of the line also can
hear it, there were about 15 ppl on the queue already. She called
the bank and the bank informed her that she has now overused her
money and the card is currently frozen temporarily. She became
hysterical and shouted over the phone. My goodness, paiseh lor that
fellow...
Finally she had to walk out bare-handed and a hung up papaya face.
The cashier was quite pissed off, but there were some who started
laughing at her.
