It's like the need to embarrass the customer to feel better about their sad pathetic lives
Why do cashiers LOUDLY announce when cards are declined?

Honey, it’s not their fault you have a 470 credit score.

r2 my credit score matches my SAT verbal score, which my psychic assures me is a very lucky thing.

What else do cashiers have to look forward to?

They don't. I've been one, and I never did that. I never heard anyone else do it.

I really wouldn't know, OP, never having had a credit card declined.

It's when they say, "May I suggest Mr. Ray's Wig World?" that I get truly humiliated.

It's better than when they do price checks over the store's audio system: "Price check on condoms. Price check. Extra small."

I had one loudly announce that a container of juice was leaking in my grocery cart, onto the floor. I gave her the "gurl, its not like Im going to be the one cleaning it up" look, and someone quickly came with a roll of paper.

I've never had that happen, but when I was younger there was a teller at my bank that would always announce the balance out loud. I wanted to kick her in the teeth. Even the other employees when walking by would pause when she did that.

I've had cards declined. Never felt the cashier was purposely loud about it. Why would you care if strangers heard your card was declined? It doesn't mean youre poor or dont have credit, it might mean your card has a low amount of credit on it....Some people even have designated cards with low limits for internet shopping. If you think it screams to the world "I'm poor!" then that's on you. I'd rather have a card with a $1000 balance hit $1000 than a $24,000 balance on a $25,000 limit. Plus, who cares what a cashier thinks? They are literally working a cash register.

What about the good old days when cashiers had to call the credit card company to authorize a purchase? Every once in a while, the cashier received instructions to cut an over-limit customer's card in half. The department store drama was exquisite.

Because it’s one of the rare perks of the job. Getting to be a bitch and the customer can’t do shit about it.

Maybe you should pay more than just the minimum payment every month, deadbeat OP.

You do realize that your Library Card can’t pay for those pork rinds and sugar-coated cereal?

I worked in retail and HATED telling people their card was declined. The majority of the time the person understood, but occasionally you'd get a person who would flip out about it. "TRY IT AGAIN!" "YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING!" "SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH YOUR SYSTEM" One guy threatened to beat me up for embarrassing him in front of his family.

In my 20+ years of working registers in every form of business imaginable ,twice I had cards declined. Out of 10 zillion transactions. Debit cards on the other hand...

I don't care about accruing miles. I usually use a debit card instead of a credit card.
