“Im curious why she had to check your card?”
My card got run over by a truck. Although the chip still works, the magnetic strip does not. Inside the store they can get the information via the laser scanner. But at the gas pump, the pump first reads the magnetic strip. The strip has my identification on it. If the pump can’t identify you it can’t check your membership and therefore won’t let you pump gas. The clerk checked my ID and verified I was a member and then used her card to okay the purchase, which was accomplished using the chip.
Thanks, I thought maybe they were beginning some new policy at the gas pumps.
