        Can confirm. Every now and then one my cashiers will call me over and be like “this old woman handed a signed piece of paper instead of money?”

        It’s also funny to show them the ol’ shotgun credit card imprinter “you put the card there and the paper here kachunk and in a few weeks wed find out if they actually had the money at all!”

        How the hell did that system work for soo long lol
