Say I went into a shop and realised I'd forgotten my money

Would it be possible for me to pay by telling the cashier my credit card details?

Blowjobs generally work

Depends on how nice the cashier is.


It is possible to charge a card by typing in the numbers, yes, so long as you know your CC number and the CVV(security code)

Not a good idea to tell anybody your CC details .The whole idea of putting it into check out machine is to show up as correct pin number .

Was it a local shop for local people?

My local shop is actually great for that. I've been let off as much as a fiver. Even when it was operating under the Centra banner they were still very good in that respect. The surprising thing is that the staff are generally young.

Are you in the shop now on your mobile, desperately waiting for an answer?

Depends on the company/shop, alot of places only have the card reading machine. Some places have access to online methods of charging cards (ie when you ring up NTL to pay a bill, or pay your Eflow over the phone).

We can charge peoples cards over the phone where i work, if we get the details off them and ring the merchant line, we can punch in the numbers and it'll verify it for us over the phone.

But in short, most shops would tell you to fcuk off

True. But what if it's a female cashier?

Ok, so no actual need to stick the card into a machine or anything.

Oh. Well, do you have to verbally tell the cashier, can't you input the details yourself?

In my local Superquinn at the self service check out - standing beside my landlady chatting, when I realised I had no cash on me. Left me stuff at the check-out & nipped over to the atm only to discover I had no f*ckin cash in the bank either. Fukkin scerlet I was, had to leg it out the door.

Yes. I'm embroiled in a row with the cashier. She's threatening to call the police.

Same, I could charge people over the phone in a job I used to have. Just needed the card details, expiry date, etc.

What's the problem with just giving them your details - why would most places tell you to fuk off?

I should have said "Giving the details". I wouldn't have to actual verbally tell her my details.

But wouldn't your suggestion be very risky - I'd know it was probably you, and you could end up doing jail time.

with any credit card there's a risk, thats a pretty extream way of doing it...
I could how ever knock 20 here 10 here 20 there over a month under 50 and you probably wouldnt notice ...

what do you do with your c/c statements out of curiosity ?

I actually don't have a credit card. I'm just curious if it's possible, that's all.

My pub is great for that. Most I ever let it go to was 60 but they didnt care. Ya can take a week or two ta pay back also. Someone I know owes well over 100 for the last month but keeps on topping it up. Thats a bit much but they know they will get it back.

I assume you had the decency to pay the fiver back at a later date?

Better still tell them someone elses credit card details.

Has anybody ever gone into a supermarket or store , picked up an item you forgot you had ,then ( mistakenly ) without paying walked out ? :eek:

I just walked out of Eason's about an hour and a half ago with three books in the crook of my arm. Was about 10 feet away from the shop and went to get my mobile. It took me a second to figure out why I didn't have enough arms to get my mobile, then had to turn around, go back and queue for about 10 minutes to pay for the bloody things.

Yeah amazing isn't it ? Now imagine trying to explain that to an over zelaous security guard or store dectective ?

Amazing how the brain seems to remind you that you have , or are just about to leave store without paying

Of course shop door alarms are the best wake up call of all

Isn't all the credit card information on the merchant copy of the cc receipt anyway?

Myggel

I filled the car in a petrol station half way between Cork and Dublin when I realised I had no wallet.

I explained to the owner and he said he couldn't take card details,, I have them memorised. He said that the risk element is the shopkeeper can be liable if the signature on a non chip and pin isn't verified in store. He just asked me for my drivers license and said post the money or drop it in on my way past.

I posted up cash in registered envelope, with self addressed stamped envelope and got license back a few days later.

At the end of the day, it's really at the discretion of the shop worker. They need to decide the risk when looking at you. Thank God it was Sunday and I had my Mass clothes on lol.

Still there for certain shops where the owners know their regulars of 20+ years... Which is handy enough I'd imagine.

Any of the local shops or pubs around here will let you pay another time if you forget your money.

You were driving around without your licence?

For an hour and a half. Never use car mid week in Dublin. One of the smaller crimes to go undetected.

Mr Benevolent

Would it be possible for me to pay by telling the cashier my credit card details?

Did you forget your credit card as well? Or are the details burned into your brain?

no.

Thats the customer copy. The merchant copy has everything in case someone tries to reverse a transaction or it backs out for some reason.

Corruptedmorals

You only need the credit card number and expiry date for typing in, but I doubt anyone would do this for you without seeing the card. Very dodgy, since it doesn't even require the security number.

Correct, your entire credit card number comes up on the merchant copy. It would have to, really. It doesn't come up on the customer's for safety reasons and ease of disposal.

It's not completely gone.
I live in a small enough town and am well known in the local shops.
One of the guys in my local off licence often lets me go if I forget to bring enough money. He knows I'll be back anyway.

The local butcher gives stuff on tick. Never availed of it myself, but I know it's there. Same with the newsagent.

The local pub will give tick to regulars (the ones who live there). One night the closest ATM was out of order and we were given tick because all the bar staff know us and know we'll pay the money back.

Sometimes I'll put something in my pocket if my hands are full.
I've forgotten to take it back out and pay for it until after I've walked out.
I'll always go back in though.

I have done that and it's just absent mindness .Thankfully I have never had to to explain myself to anybody as to why .
