now for your rather caustic remarks, Mr T red7882....if you will kindly read my original post, no where did i say that i raised my voice to the clerk or caused a scene in any way, nor since she is MUCH more laid back than i am, did my wife say anything....i didn't say anything to the smirker or raise my voice other than ask why the check was rejected......the smirky arsed girl smirkily replied that she "didn't HAVE to tell me" because of ..quote..."security reasons"....SHE is the one that created the "scene" and made sure everyone in the place heard her...
you are quite ultimately correct....some people are jerks....

You didn't have to raise your voice, but i bet your "torqued" jaw was sending some body language and she was responding likewise. As for her "annoucing" that your check was no good, that was probably so that the people behind you in line knew where to place their frustration over waiting in line. People get extremely impatient during the holiday season and checkers often bear the brunt of that negativity. She didn't tell you why the check wasn't accepted to avoid the "...but there's money is that account" arguement that often ensues with some customers. Maybe not you, but it happens enough to have a fall back line to feed people. also, some people might not want it blurted out that "your check got denied because you don't have any money in that account." true?
As for the person asking about the "constant rudeness" of my place of business... we just don't put up with jerk customers. You would be amazed how often people start screaming at us over something we have no control over (like a card getting denied). We are a very busy place with plenty of business, we don't deem it necessary to deal with difficult people. We tell them to leave and to not come back, its pretty simple. We charge honest prices and run an honest business. People appreciate it and we appreciate their business. Any business that lasts 40 years, that is independently run and owned is obviously not a rude place of business, rather one that is well run and realizes where to pick battles and where not to pick battles. Its not in our best interest to debate with customers about why their card isn't being accepted.
