it was really hot today so I went to the dairy queen after work, and it looked like a pretty ghetto dairy queen so I didn't know if they took debit or not. luckily (or not) there was a little bank next door so I go use their atm to take out a bit of cash. stick the card in, ask for a balance.....
wait....
wait....
wait...
it makes a little noise but the screen doesn't change
wait...
wait...
wait...
ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
after a few minutes my card hadn't come out.
so I go inside and tell them the machine had eaten my card.
"do you have an account with us?"
no.
"I'm sorry, you will have to get a new card from your own bank"
ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
can't you just open the machine and take out my card?
"no."
ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
o....k....
so I walk out.
by the grace of goddess, the machine was beeping and my card was sticking out of it. the screen said:
Sorry, that transaction cannot be completed at this time.

shiiiiet.

and it turns out the dairy queen did take debit, anyway.
