Plastic Shopping!

There are tons of things required for home improvement at any given time, so on the fateful day we make journey to the arcade to pick up new pieces for home.

We located a piece which we liked and made the payment through plastic money namely the debit card. As luck would have it the paper in the machine ran out right after the merchant copy and after some initial fumbling new roll of paper was inserted. And then struck the plastic prophecy. I was billed twice for a single transaction.

What followed at the shop and the bank was out of the TV show OFFICE- OFFICE. Three hours and net result was a promise of the refund in a week's time. But the most important learning out of all this was the fact that debit card double payments cannot be canceled only credit cards have that privilege! I have no idea why people who want to buy things within their pockets capacity are relegated to such levels by the banks, just because they are trying to be a little careful and avoid getting fleeced by the banks?

Anyway, to cut the short story long please be careful when the paper tuns out of the machine and try to get the half printed paper and get the amount written on the same by the merchant for your records. The BOB card machines are the worst as they do not have a Void option to cancel duplication so reader please be extra careful.
