Okay, so, long day, right? And I decide to go shopping. Get to the store, shop, run my card--it's declined. I know there's no reason for that. Plus I'm pissed. So I go home, call the card people, they say that something was screwed up in the transmission, so they sent a request for the 3 digit whatsit number on the back, the request wasn't answered, so they didn't authorize the card. Now I'm really pissed. Ms. Hides-from-confrontation goes *back* to the store, asks for a manager, explains the situation, and is told that their machines don't display the message asking for the 3 digit whatsit code. The manager does say that they should have either tried to run the card again or contacted him to let him see what was going on or whatever--none of which happened. So I stress I'm not wanting anyone to get in trouble; I just wanted to know why it happened. So I go off to re-grocery shop** and the manager tracks me down and gives me a $25 gift card for my trouble. Which was nice, but I would have rather avoided the whole thing.
**They'd basically dumped my old groceries wherever--the fruits I'd bought were still in their respective bags.
Just--ARRGH.
