It ain't that hard to get Jim Irwin on the phone. You should try it
instead of airing dirty laundry in this forum. 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.

That's news to me, and yes, I accept credit cards in my business
daily! Maybe Mrs. Hitler made a mistake so an authorization wasn't
possible.



You've never accidentally rejected a card or had a personal card mistakenly
rejected? I can think of at least 3 times in my life (once at a gas pump
last weekend) when a viable card has been rejected.

Your statement was that credit cards get randomly rejected at times,
and my reply was a nice way to say "bull****". If the reader is dirty
or the card has been demagnetized, it won't work. If you call or
punch a number in, they will not get randomly rejected. If the card
was good (as it appeared in this instance) the operator made a
mistake.
