The young shopper using her Dad’s credit card is horrified when the cashier refuses to accept her payment, but the woman thinks that a valuable lesson has been taught.
An Expensive Department Store
The woman visits an expensive department store and stands in line waiting to pay for her purchases. She only has two items, but they carry a high price tag due to the caliber of the store.
Too Young to Afford Anything
The woman stands next to two teenage girls who are fawning over a pair of VERY expensive boots. The woman knows that the boots cost well over $300 and wonders how the young girls are going to afford such an expensive item.
A Crazy Price Tag
The woman hears one of the girls questioning how her friend can afford to pay the high price. She agrees that the boots are amazing, but insists that they’re insanely expensive.
Access to Her Dads Account
The next thing, the woman hears the other girl laugh and say, “It’s cool, I have my Dad’s credit card so they won’t cost me anything!” The woman watches as the two girls laugh and joke about not having to pay.
A Negative Reaction
The woman feels instantly angry at the girl’s arrogance. She’s shocked to hear that she’s using her Dad’s credit card for such an expensive item. It isn’t like it’s an emergency purchase, so she wonders how the girl’s Dad might react if he knew.
A Poor Set of Morals
The woman has a son of her own, and she thinks of how she never lets him use her credit card, despite his many requests. Even if she did allow it, it would be for emergencies only so she can’t believe how poor the girl’s morals are.
It Is a Criminal Offence
Unable to let it go, it dawns on the woman that using someone else’s card is a criminal offense. The girl obviously doesn’t care that she’ll be committing fraud by using her Dad’s credit card.
The Bill Is Rising
As they’re waiting to reach the checkout, one of the girls jumps out of line to grab another item. The woman is shocked that she’d added something else to an already HUGE bill. When they reach the checkout, the woman is behind the two girls.
A Costly Purchase
The girl’s bill hits well over four digits and the girl doesn’t bat an eyelid. She pulls out a credit card and confidently prepares to swipe it through the machine. The woman is horrified and can’t just stand by doing nothing.
A Rapid Intervention
The woman decides that she has to do something. Stepping forward, she tells the cashier that the card the girl is using belongs to her Dad and she shouldn’t be using it. She says that the girl might not have permission.
A Look of Horror
The woman notices that the girls are staring at her and giving her dirty looks. The girl with the credit card looks as though she’s about to burst and have a tantrum, right there in the store. The woman suspects that she is used to being pampered and has never been told ‘no.’
The Aggressive Rebuke
The girl is furious and tells the woman to mind her own business. She then tells the cashier that her Dad gave her the store credit card and he earns points when she spends on it. She says she has permission to use it.
A Change of Heart
At that point, the cashier apologizes and says she won’t be able to accept the card. She says she assumed that it was the girl’s card but on closer inspection, she can see that there’s a different name on there.
A Desperate Scramble
The girl scrambles in her bag for some ID and thrusts it in the cashier’s face. She insists that the cashier looks at the name to prove that it’s her Dad’s card. The woman says it’s still fraud and, once again, the girl tells her to mind her own business.
The Drama Elevates
The woman insists that it IS her business if someone is committing fraud and that someone needs to be responsible. She says that having overheard their conversation, it is her public duty to intervene and prevent a crime from being committed.
She Threatens to Take Things Further
The woman ignores the girl telling her to leave them alone, and says that if she wants the items, she should pay with her own card. The girl looks shocked, she says, “Are you the cops then?” Her friend finds the comment hilarious. Angrily, the woman says she isn’t a cop but she’s prepared to call them!
A Group of Spectators
The woman notices that the people in line are all staring at the altercation. Some of the other cashiers have even stopped what they’re doing and are glaring at her as she lays down the law.
The Girl Caves In
The girl has tears in her eyes and looks as though she’s about to burst out crying. The woman glares at her, refusing to budge. Completely frustrated, the girl pulls out her own card and pays for the items. When she’s done, she storms off in tears and the cashier gives the woman an angry look.
An Unexpected Reprimand
When the woman gets home, she tells her husband about the incident with the girls. She’s shocked when he tells her he can’t believe what she did, and that it was none of her business to get involved. He tells her he’s really surprised at her behavior and she should keep her mouth firmly shut next time.
