A few years ago I purchased a watch for my husband, an expensive watch but he deserved every pound I spent. This ruddy OMEGA watch, would not tell the correct time so in the end we had all our money paid back onto the credit card I had used to pay for it. As we do not use our credit card very often we went into a DIY store and bought fifty pounds of goods on credit. The card was refused, the bank had only received the payment from the jewellers and put the money as a debit and not a credit. They are not used to getting credits of that sort of money they mewled so 'thought' it must be a debit and we had gone over our allowance. After we had finished with the bank I felt a lot more cheered up!!!!! Good on you, machines break but it is time that little upstarts like the oik you dealt with learnt some customer service.

It is so annoying and embarrassing as it looks like you're skint. I think anyone who has their card declined in public like that deserves more than an apology - they deserve at least a £25 voucher to spend in the store, and an apology not just from the snotty little git on the till but the manager of the store. <br />Margaret P galanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190356279359463949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690929350463100222.post-72612408590250838072016-07-29T03:41:30.108-07:002016-07-29T03:41:30.108-07:00I had this happen to me in the City some time ago....I had this happen to me in the City some time ago. I went to my car and called the 800 number. the young man I talked to said the card was fine and if this ever happened again ask the person behind the counter to enter the card manually as some machines are getting old and don't work properly.

Husband knew he had renewed it because it required a manager to approve it. They LET us buy our goods and now we need to bring in the proof we paid for the membership. If I am the one doing it (we do have the proof), it will be very visible to the customers in the store as I am very angry.

After the first time it happened, I left a month's shopping in the trolley and walked off to find the manager. I was asked to pay cash, which I declined, and like yourself, watched as several other customers had the same problem. The attitude of the staff was my main complaint-it's not rocket science to work out that the machinery is to blame when it keeps happening. Mind you, it was weeks befor I went back to the store in case it happened again!!
