Ok, Skull, there are two kinds of people in the world. Those that approach the cashier with their credit card ready to swip as soon as they have been scanned, and those that wait until they have been scanned, then open their purse, dig for 2 or 3 minutes, finally find their checkbook, borrow a pen, write out the check and hand it to the cashiier, then return to their purse and dig for 2 or 3 minutes to find their billfold, remove their iD, hand it to the cashier, get the ID back, with their receipt, return to their purse, reinsert their ID, store their receipt, put their billfold back into the purse, and then move out of line. The latter kind of people are otherwise known as women.
I was with you until you blamed it on women only. Sure, men don't have purses, usually, but that just means the cashier and everyone in line are supposed to wait while he goes out to the truck to get his ID. Both genders - the cashier's supposed to keep zipping the credit card until it's successful, even though it was denied the first 20 times, then call the credit card company to tell them to accept it after another 20 zips.
I'll never work retail sales again.
