The pump wouldn't take it and the clerk wanted her to leave her credit card with her. Is this your policy? Of course my mom was smart enough not to leave her card with the clerk, as you and I both know this is dangerous. The clerk said it was because she had tried to use it too many times today. This was the only place she used it and when she tried to use it, 3 times it said replace the pump and see the clerk. I often wonder how many times this happens to older people who don't realize they shouldn't leave their card as we know there are dishonest people out there who take those cards and make copies and then use them. I'm sure this young woman was honest but you never know. I was just wondering what your policy was on people leaving their credit card with the clerk? Thank you.
