Customer tries to pay with an Itunes card

Yesterday in concession a girl gave me what she thought was a gift card to our movie theatre, but instead she gave me an Itunes card! She felt rather embarassed and kept on apologizing. I told her it was fine.
Later her and a friend came back out to get something else. She apologized again and I told her not to worry, that she made a very tiring and hectic night behind the concession stand more enjoyable by giving me a good laugh. This made her feel better too, and she finally went back to her movie.

I tried to pay for groceries with my theatre reward card once. It was right next to my debit card, and they have similar colors, and I just wasn't paying attention.

I had a customer give me a local department store gift card instead of one of ours. We did have a good laugh about it.

I ran my PetSmart card through the self-scan at the supermarket next door to PetSmart. The machine accepted it.

Tried entering Costco using my security access swipe card from work..couldn't figure out why I was getting a funny look from the door person until my wife pointed it out.

Not paying attention before I've tried to pay with my library card.

More times than I can count, people tried using *grocery discount card* at the supercenter, and getting really disgusted with their card until they realized it wasn't the right one.

I know our machine at work will read some info off of cards we don't accept. For example, we don't accept Interac, which a lot of people try and pay with since we have a lot of Canadian customers. They can swipe the card. The machine will read their name off of it (that shows up on my screen) and will ask them to approve the amount, but then it will be inevitable declined.

Though, I've never had anyone try and use a PetSmart card. I think I could have fun playing with my system tonight...

Heee hee! That was amusing! Went through wallet, found stuff with mag strips, and attempted to post a dummy charge, and resulted in the following:

Movie card - wouldn't even read it
Grocery rewards card 1 - read it, immediately declined
Grocery rewards card 2 - read it, immediately declined
Health insurance card - swiped it, my name popped up on the computer. Clicked "continue". Then it asked me to call the card issuer for authorization.

A few weeks ago the both the cashier and I spent a good 5 minutes trying to figure out why my Macy's card wouldn't go through. I finally realized it was my Target card. (They're both red with gold flecks.)

I tried to pay with my driver's license once.
