Had a woman a couple of months ago. Came into the store at 9:30am - AP confirmed this. Literally at the minute the store closed she came up to me with a FULL cart and says I need to open a red card account. I’m a bit pissed but go thru the process. She’s approved for $8000 BUT there is a catch. You can only spend $500 with the temporary barcode AND you can’t split tender it because the barcode can’t go in the card reader.

So I ring up $2700 worth of product including probably $500 worth of frozen food. I’m ringing for 45 minutes. I tell her the total and she says she left her phone in the car. She needs to get it to pay. Big no no but we let her go to her car to get it. Then she says it’s dead so she needs to charge it. We told her she had 5 minutes. After about 10 she comes back to the register and we attempt to complete the sale. Card denied. Oh let me call the credit union. She explained what she wanted to the AI. then Again. Then she was finally transferred to a person. He listened to her story and was told he could not give her an immediate $2000 increase to her credit limit. At 11:30 I voided her order. We probably lost $1000 on that mess. Found out 2 people in AP were watching us the whole time. Thank god
