So, lady buys gets a bunch of crap food, and hands me her food stamp card. Before it is even scanned, her boyfriend is cramming chips and cookies down his gullet. Card says invalid pin. I tell her to put it in again. She puts in random number and tries to walk off. I tell her to wait. (Firm voice, they're already acting suspecious). She tells me its going to clear. Guess what? Invalid pin. I tell her to put it in again. She gives me her card, saying I MUST have scanned it wrong. I scan it agian, and this time hold on to the card. Once again, INVALID pin. She's getting pissy because I'm holding her card. I tell her to put in her pin correctly then. Once again, INVALID Pin. Now, when you can't put in your four digit code corectly within the first few times, it locks up, because well, it seems stolen. She gets angry, and SHOVES her stuff over the counter, demanding her card back. I tell her that i'm going to keep it til they pay for all the crap they just shoved the down their stomachs. She tells me she just used it, that my machine is wrong, and that I am STEALING her food stamps. I shrug. "Not really, I just want you to pay for what you eat". Her boyfriend shoves a ten at me, which barely covers it, and they storm out, (With their EBT card). She also told me that I WILL be fired for messing up her food stamp card and stealing their food.

This isn't really the point of the post, but I hate it when people start eating food in a store before they pay for it.
It's STEALING.
And I'm willing to bet that most of the stuff that gets consumed while the person is still shopping never gets paid for.
But that's just me.~~*

Quoth Lehk View Postit doesn't just freeze up at your store, the account gets locked so the card should come up as invalid no matter what they do now.
Sounds like she stole it, or if she young shes using her moms and she changed the pin

I think it's 5 tries for the PIN on the pinpad before the card locks out and cannot be used until after midnight the next day.
Either way, that couple knew the card was stolen and thought they could pull a fast one, then girl pitched a fit when she realized it wasn't going to work.

Quoth Bright_Star View PostIt's not THEIR food till they PAY for it. That's how THAT works....lol.
NOTHING is ever their fault . . .it's everyone else's.
So, in their minds, by leaving the stuff there including the empty packaging of the stuff they'd already eaten, they didn't have to pay for any of it b/c the card didn't go through.
