The cash register card readers at the local Meijers store constantly reject
my card, even after several swipes... While the card readers in their gas
pumps out front cheerfully accept the card every time, without fail... The
trick I learned from one of the cashiers is to fold a thin plastic
merchandise bag over the card and swipe it through the reader slot - you
would expect it to fail to read through a layer of plastic - but it works
like a champ..

Especially since credit
cards
get randomly rejected from time to time, based on any number of

glitches
in
the systems that span the distance between the card reader and the

credit
card company.
