What it feels like speaking with a MAGA American:
Me: âYour total is $44.19. Cash or card?â
The customer hands me a credit card but the chip inside it has been hole-punched out.
Me: âUh, I donât think this will work.â
Customer: âWhy not? It hasnât expired and I have money in my account.â
Me: âSir⌠the chip is gone.â
Customer: âI didnât want the chip.â
Me: âThe card wonât work without it.â
Customer: âIt just means I canât enter my PIN, but you can still swipe it.â
Me: âI donât think it will work, sir.â
Customer: âJust swipe it.â
I swipe it to prove a point.
Me: âItâs not working, sir.â
Customer: âThen youâre doing it wrong. Swipe it again!â
I do so again with the same result.
Customer: âMaybe you should swipe it so that the magnetic strip isnât the thing being swiped?â
Me: *Swiping it as suggested.* âSure, why not? About as much chance of it going through without the magnetic strip as there is without the chip â oh look, it didnât work.â
Customer: âYour machine must be broken!â
