Still The Sweetest Girl Ever
Do you let the cashier pick when she says "debit or credit"?

Additional Details
I just find it funny b/c it is all of the same account.

No, because I usually use the self service aisles. The machine won't pick for me!

Um, no. How would the cashier know what *I* want to do with my money?

I don't even let them choose "paper or plastic"!

Heck no! That's not the cashier's choice. I always choose credit so that if anything goes wrong I'll have a paper trail to follow.

The choice only effects the fees to the business.

Credit fees are a percentage of the sale amount. For example a check card might cost 1.45% of the sale. Debit fees are usually a flat cost per transaction, like 65 cents.

Smart businesses know the decision point where one choice is cheaper than the other.

I let them pick. It really don't matter the money comes out of my checking either way.

NO WAY

I got a banking card that can be either used as a debit or credit transaction. Either way the funds come straight out of my bank account. If I feel safe then I will tell them debit. If the lines are long or I feel unsafe,ie someone looking over my shoulder, then I want to secure my PIN so I select credit and sign the slip. There is a store I shop @ that only accepts debit card transaction when using a card. So I have no choice but to select debit.

It's your money, so why should you let a clerk who doesn't know your business make that choice for you.


rick
No, I always tell them, saves time in line.


mister ed
of course if it is a credit i give her my card and she has me sign -- if debit i run the card and put in my pin number!!!

I actually find this funny since I'm a cashier and our store's debit pads almost never work. I just select credit then tell the customer that the debit isnt' working. 9 out of 10 times that's true anyway! Once a month or so, I'll have someone pitch a fit over it. But I just tell them that I'm not allowed to reconnect the pin pad to make it work. I could do this, I have done it...then I was told that I could be fired if I do it again. Much as I hate the store, I do rather like getting a paycheck.
