Saw this earlier today, when I had a hair appointment and decided to pick up a couple of magazines on the way. There were 2 tills at the store I went into; and therefore 2 queues. The woman in front of me jammed her credit card so hard into the slot in the chip and pin machine, that it snapped in half. O_o Leaving one half stuck in the machine and one in her hand. She then started screaming at the cashier, saying it was his fault that her card had snapped in two. Nope; she shoved it too hard and it snapped; nothing to do with him at all. I didn't see the end as I moved to the other queue to buy my reading material.

I bet it did stop her from spending (I think karma had something to do with it too). Anyway the only problems I've seen with those machines is either they're not working or the card didn't go through but never someone shoving it so hard that the card broke. Wow, I would love to be a fly on the wall when she tells her credit card company.

Have you ever had the satisfaction of cutting up a customer's credit card? I've had the bank tell me to once or twice, but we weren't actually allowed to do it. We had to give it back and tell the customer what the bank said.
The only cards I've ever cut up were the ones that customers forgot and never came back for. After they've been in our drawer a few weeks we'd destroy them. Tho I had one woman call later the same day to ask if she'd left her card. When I said yes, I had it, she told me to cut it up because she had already cancelled it!I don't go in for ancient wisdom

I had that point drilled into me more than once when I worked at a convenience store in Massachusetts, during the training videos.

My collague in the same store had a semi-sadistic way of cutting credit cards veeeryyy slooowwwllyyyy. But she has 30+ years' experience in retail, so you can hardly blame her.
