Customer: “Is yall’s chip reader working?” *inserts chip before getting an answer*

Me: “Are you doing debit or credit?” *knows the answer*

Customer: “it’s gonna be debit.”

Me: “Go ahead and swipe your card.”

Customer: “But it’s got the chip on it.”

Me: *stares at label on card reader* “go ahead and swipe your card.”

Customer: *ignores me and leaves card inserted; selects debit; ignores prompt to remove and swipe card; card reader begins beeping; customer removes card and puts it back in wallet* “Did it go through?”

Me: *sighs internally while staring at the label* “No, you gotta swipe your card.”

Customer: “These things don’t know what they want, do they?”

Me: *cries in Spanish*
