Can You beleive this?
 

i went into this restaurant today and when i got done eating we went to pay for it and the lady that was helping us accidently put $395.00 instead of $39.50 on my debit card,and it was taken out of my account right then and there, and my hubby told her that it was going to be taken out right away because it was a debit, well i went to the bank and pulled up the account and guess what? it was taken out, so now the money was frozen until 3-7 business days, well that was the most expensive dinner i have ever had, well anyway i hate it when you go somewhere and this happens,

well we got home to talk to the main manager and she told my hubby that he was rude and the funny thing is that he hardly talked , he let them do the talking, so we went home and have to wait 3-7 business days to get it back, how horrible these people do this all the time,

what has been some of your experiences?

if they only knew how my hubby was before christ, then yes he would have been rude, but we had a good attitude about it, what a mess,,,,:bigbaby

Is it wells fargo?

Re: Can You beleive this?
 

chase/morgan. but i had wells fargo a long time ago and they gave me nothing but problems

Re: Can You beleive this?
 

Incredible that they say he was rude. BTW did you have to type in your pin number or did they run it through like a credit card but without signing? I hate those things. If you can type in your pin number you can make sure the amount is correct

Re: Can You beleive this?
 

Debit Card... that's why you're supposed to check the amount before you press OK, "trigger"... :D

You don't need a lecture, your missing $395.00 is enough punishment.

Re: Can You beleive this?
 

we refused to sign it, because it was the incorrect amount--no pin number at all,- all she had to do was credit my account again

Re: Can You beleive this?
 

she ran it thru as a credit card, i did not press anything for it to go thru. it was suppose to be debit

Re: Can You beleive this?
 

I would have made a bee line to that there buffet and got my money's worth!

Re: Can You beleive this?
 

wait, if you refused to sign it then it is not valid. How can they debit the account? It's unauthorized. You should dispute the full amount with the bank.

thats hilarious but man i was full:,,,:ursofunny:ursofunny:ursofunnyursofunny

Re: Can You beleive this?
 

Got a funny story. (Don't I always?) Had dinner at a nice restaurant with all the kids and a few friends. The bill was well into the 3 digits (no, not counting the cents!), and I added a tip to the credit card slip, as usual. I totaled it, and even had my son check my math for me. Got home and looked at it again. Not sure how it happened or how my son missed it, but it was off by a hundred bucks! (Too high!)

Called the restaurant and they refunded the $100 to my account. Whew!

Re: Can You beleive this?
 

This is why I use CASH. I just don't trust all those things. People still make mistakes! I do use credit cards and pay them off each month, but they are really good about disputes.

Re: Can You beleive this?
 

Wow... I've never had anyone do that before.
Learn something new everyday.

Re: Can You beleive this?
 

We had a UPC preacher friend who accidentally put a $100 tip on the table instead of a dollar! By the time he realized it, he was home and it was too late. That's what he gets for just planning to leave a dollar!:ursofunny

Re: Can You beleive this?
 

they ran it thru and when i went to the bank they had to give me a ledger or something like that,i had money in savings but for some reason it froze my whole account, unbelievable. and i have an overdraft


they screwed up big time and my hubby told them if you do not credit back my account i will bring my lawyer in this,, so we will see what happens tuesday, you know fo sure i wont be back there again----lol,,,:ursofunny:ursofunny:ursofunny

Re: Can You beleive this?
 

i agree----:ursofunny

Re: Can You beleive this?
 

well we know that when we use our debit card i always use it as a debit and not a creidt, i did learn something new today, i will not be back there-lol

Re: Can You beleive this?
 

I'da loved to see the look on his face! :toofunny

And I bet it caused some confusion in the mind of the waiter. "Weird. I thought that guy was a preacher." :ursofunny

Re: Can You beleive this?
 

Speaking of tips... when I was more well off I used to give the pizza delivery person a twenty.. and I tipped the waiter/waitress the price of the meal or above.

Re: Can You beleive this?
 

i would have loved to see this one too. i have never see $100 tip. that would have been great, ,,:friend

Re: Can You beleive this?
 

That's why you American's need to color code your money...
like your brilliant neighbours to the north.

Re: Can You beleive this?
 

Sad, but true.:ursofunny

Re: Can You beleive this?
 

I've never been that well off yet... looking forward to it!

Re: Can You beleive this?
 

I was blessed... but I gave a lot to the church...

Re: Can You beleive this?
 

I've found the more we give, the more we get from the Lord... and not speaking in prosperity doctrine terms.

Re: Can You beleive this?
 

thats a pretty good tip.
i go to this restaurant where there is this flamer- i mean he is a flamer, my hubby asked him who the pics were that he was carrying around in his tip book and he said "OH THATSY MY HUSBAND WE GOT MARRIED IN MISSOURI"

we have our own business and when we go there to the restaurant he always serves us very well because he knows we give good tips, so when we bring friends there he is always there to bring anything we want on the dot ,

Re: Can You beleive this?
 

"Flamer".. I've learned something else new tonight.

There's a guy at our favorite restaurant in town who we can't decide if he's a flamer or not... but he gives the absolute best service... and this before getting the good tip. (We always tip him really well though)

Re: Can You beleive this?
 

If I ever have to wait on tables for whatever circumstances, it is my hope that I'm tipped as well as I tipped, but up to par with todays inflation rate.

Re: Can You beleive this?
 

yes i do agree , the more you give the Lord giveth back and more ,

i went to mickey D's last night and a minister friend of ours jokingly said to my hubby , oh so you are paying for our meal right. and i turned around and said i sure will tonight ,and he said "OH NO I WAS ONLY JOKING''
i did it to blow his mind-lol i had fun with it


God is always a giving God if you give to him.
THE LORD GIVETH AND THE LORD TAKETH AWAY ,,:ursofunny

Re: Can You beleive this?
 

Oh well,You give tips like that is most likely why your no longer more well off. You give it all away.

Re: Can You beleive this?
 

i am trying to be a good witness to him and show him that the LORD always loves him but for sure he is a flammer ... that is to bad cause he is a great guy

Re: Can You beleive this?
 

I waited tables.
I really disliked the job.
Most of the times the tips were small, and I always have that in mind when I tip in a restaurant.

Re: Can You beleive this?
 

I felt like i had payed for a motel and a rental car too -lol

Re: Can You beleive this?
 

No, that is not why. Your money perish with you... :)

Re: Can You beleive this?
 

I am going on the "reap what you sew" mind set. :)

Re: Can You beleive this?
 

As opposed to "rip what you sow"?

:laffatu


I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.

Re: Can You beleive this?
 

church, let us pray for LPW... she is being carnal.

Re: Can You beleive this?
 

I'm backing away from the computer. Hubby is turning in and I think I should too, before I stop making any sense.
