| 633352 | 2008-01-23 22:29:00 | Does it even print out a receipt if it's declined? | --Wolf-- (128) | ||
| 633353 | 2008-01-23 22:49:00 | What I don't get though is how she could walk out the store.....if the transaction was declined, the receipt will say it....the computer will say it immediately.....did she just enter the PIN and then left? | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 633354 | 2008-01-23 22:49:00 | Does it even print out a receipt if it's declined? Normally... I think the sales attendant was having an off day, or simply not taking notice of things. |

| 633355 | 2008-01-23 22:55:00 | Yes, it prints out, the customer will not usually check if its gone through, least I dont, I expect the transaction to go through! Its the sales clerk who is supposed to check the transaction acceptance! | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 633356 | 2008-01-23 22:55:00 | Sales assistant didn't pay attention. Declined doesn't give a receipt on Eftpos. So they might notice, they might not. They'd likely to write it off as shoplifting losses anyway....... I got some free stuff once. Went into Farmers when child was small and I was scruffy. Hang on, I'm still scruffy, never mind.........anyway bought a load of baby things, came to a lot, $250 or so....this was a long time ago remember. Pulled wads of cash out of ripped shirt pocket and dumped it all on the counter at which point sales woman insisted I'd already given her the cash. She argued it in front of a number of other customers who all disagreed with her, eventually I gave up and left with my stuff and my money. I imagine she was totally devastated later when cash up happened. Not to mention broke. |

EB do rip people off with second hand games, and then they sell them at almost exactly the same price as their new counterparts. Assassins Creed there is $119.95 or something 2nd hand. I paid less than that for my new copy. They're really only worth the sales prices. The rest of the time the gamesman tends to be more reasonable. Plus they don't play stupid store CD's with annoying australian accented ads on top of them. And their sales assistants tend to be awkward looking geeks... I never trust skinny chefs. Just keep it then. And what the hell is Billy T's problem? He's getting wound up over something that's not really that major. Sales assistant screwed up, they probably found out at cash up that day, so if they haven't done anything by now I'd imagine you're home free. |

Ya have to ignore Billy some times, He has a holier-then-thou chip on his shoulder, Thinks how ever he sees things is the one true way and anybody who doesn't agree and measure up to his personal yard stick is a blight on society and on a one way trip to hell. Apart from that, He a decent bloke. |

Don't try to shift the blame on the salesperson for not noticing - at the end of the day you have an obligation to pay for the stuff you walked out of the store with, regardless of who's fault the stuff-up actually was. In addition, if you don't try and sort this out you may get the salesperson in trouble - while you may not care, $80 makes a big, big difference to some people. Your Auckland excuse is worse than a sieve. Obviously you don't drive up there in a situation like that, you just call them and offer to pay via credit-card or direct credit. It's not that hard. EFTPOS machines can be configured to either print a receipt or not for declined transactions. It's up to whatever the individual retailer prefers. Just do the right thing and go back to pay them. |
