A girl came to the register with some essentials for a pet and explained very quietly that she didn't have much money and asked if there was any kind of discount I could give her. She said she would try her card anyway but it might be declined.
No one was in earshot or eyesight so I told her to just take it. I just started this job too hope I don't get fired lol
Oh shoot I didn't notice the card didn't go through my bad!
This literally happened all the time with the funky chip reader at my old job
