<p>[QUOTE="usmc60, post: 2624484, member: 76739"]You know the bank gives me a debit card. I cut it up and throw it in the garbage. Gone to the store too many times, to only find out that hey there computers are down. Sorry we cannot do any business. My reply is I'm paying cash, the cashier replies back sorry sir can't do any transaction because the computer is out. My reply back is, what did merchants do prior to the computer age. I believe it's the price of the item plus the tax equals what you owe. Write it down on a pad enter it into the computer when they are up and running again but let the people with cash Pay and go. Tough luck for all others.But unfortunately now. It seems people cannot conduct business unless they have the machine to figure out how to add the tax and what change to give you. Then they say sir the cash register will not open without the computer being on. Even that's not true most registers have a release button to open the drawer. And I found even most managers don't even know about that release lever. I guess for security reasons it's a good idea not to let the employees know but manager should know how to unlock the drawer. That's why still like the little mom and pop stores, that basically only accept cash. They can still conduct business under candlelight when there is no power to the ((machines)).USMC60[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
