I've had people at both Chesterfield and West County who asked me to run their card as 'debit' or 'credit' or what have you. Usually, a "We only have the one button for cards" was enough for them.
Apparently, McD's attracts an extremely different kind of crowd.
Note that this wasn't the first time I'd had a credit card. Again, there is only the one 'button' for cards at McD's, just like the other places I worked.
H: Her
M: Me
H: Lady (...right...) orders some food, runs her card, and the transaction is to the point that I've already gotten her name before she suddenly piped up, "I wanted that to be run as a debit card."
M: I do the slow turn and stare at you like a moron look, and proceed with, "There's only the one button on my side of the counter. I'm not sure what shows up on the screen on your side..."
H:"I've used this card here before, and run it as a debit card!"
M: "As far as I know, there's only the one way to run any card we get."
H: "I've run it as a debit card before here, and if it isn't run the correct way, it'll get charged to my credit card." *she was holding a Commerce Bank card, which is the same bank I use, so, yes, I can agree to that much*
M: *sigh* "Hold on..." *I turn around and call for the nearest manager to come help*
K: "I'm sorry, miss, but we only have the one way to run cards."
H: "I'VE RUN THIS CARD AS A DEBIT HERE BEFORE!"
K: "Yes, we used to have that capability, but we don't now."
*by this time, her food had already been bagged and run, so, she was letting her food cool*
The whole argument took about ten minutes between her and K. It was insane.
