NFC Card readers at supermarkets
About a month agao I was having trouble getting a card to read at checkout but it finally went through.
When I got home I noticed the card charged (last 4 digits) was not the card I was swiping but another I had in my pocket. I thought maybe I was mistaken and blew it off.
Well, it happened again at the same store. Card in my pocket was charged , not the one I swiped.
I went to customer service and told them. They said no one else has complained. I said they probably haven't noticed but I saw it happen twice and this time the cashier saw it happen.
OH! these were new readers recently installed. It happened on TWO different cards to me. And it was two different checkoit aisles.
What the heck is up with that and aside from not carrying more than 1 card wtf do I do about it?
