Old People Are Trying To Destroy America!!!
I have become convinced there is a sinister sub-class of Old People hell-bent on turning the USA into an impoverished backwards third-world nation. They do this by driving into the side of buildings and into crowds and then pretend to be sweet and loveable. Yes they killed a dozen people and caused tens of thousands of dollars in property damage... But look at them Aaaaaaaw you can't lock Granny up she just didn't know any better!!
Anyway. Walmart is plagued with daily attacks of the Technophobe Squad. These are the ones that come in and have severe complications operating the credit-card terminal.
Steps Normal Non Sinister/Evil People Use To Operate Terminal:
1) Swipe card
2) Punch in pin or press red CANCEL button to continue
3) If DEBIT, select cashback or press no.
4) If Credit, sign screen.
Thank you and have a nice day.
STEPS TYPICAL EVIL/SINISTER OLD PERSON USES TO DESTROY SANITY OF CASHIER:
1A) Slide card upside-down, backwards or try to insert it into clear part of screen
OR
1B) Stand there like a dried up fish.
2) Complain LOUDLY that they don't have a pin number
4) CASHIER: "Press the red button please. "
DESTROYER OF SOULS: "But that says cancel."
CASHIER: "Yes press the button for me please."
DOS: "But it says cancel!"
CASHIER: "I know. Push it please."
DOS: "But it says cancel!"
CASHIER: "Please. Push. The. Button."
DOS: "But it says cancel!"
CASHIER: *waves over manager*
MANAGER: "What's up?
DOS: "I don't have a pin, I want credit."
MANAGER: "Ah ok, please push the red button."
DOS: "But that says cancel!"
CASHIER: *SNAP* THE RED BUTTON! PUSH IT PUSH IT I SWEAR TO GOD YOU WILL PUSH THE BUTTON RIGHT FUCKING NOW OR I WILL CUT YOU IN HALF WITH THE PRICE-SCAN LASER GODFUCKING---- *tazer sound, cashier slumps over*
MANAGER: *manager puts tazer away and puts help wanted sign in window and sighs*
Seriously, it's not that hard to operate this terminal. I understand technology can be daunting... but you know I'm not some kind of miracle worker... there was a time when I didn't understand how things worked so I ASKED FOR HELP.
Technology is here to stay, we are not reverting to 1930 level technology just because you can't be assed to ask for help or you are too prideful to admit you need assistance.
Really I can't wait until my other job picks back up so I can stop dealing with this nonsense.
