apocalypsosSo I run down to the store for a couple of things -- soda, candy, etc. -- and I used my debit card for a twenty dollar purchase. Declined.
Well, hell, it's happened here before. Now I'm starting to think my card is screwed up. So I run to the ATM to check it out.
I should in theory have the eighteen bucks and change I already had in there, plus the fifty bucks in UC I got deposited yesterday, minus ten bucks for the gas I bought yesterday. My current balance is listed as sixty-eight bucks and some change. My available balance? Negative fifty-four cents.
Now, I know I haven't spent that, so I roll around to the drive-through -- the lobby was already closed -- and I ask for a copy of my statement. According to THAT, I have a fifty-four cent debit because I ran to the post office the other day and had no change on me.
Common sense says somebody entered something into the wrong line/the computer is reading the wrong line. The girl at customer service, instead, tells me it's probably because of the gas and how the gas stations hold bigger amounts and all, which ... I KNOW. Except instead of a round number with no cents like they've normally held on me before, my balance is the exact negative of my latest debit.
Basically, what it all adds up to is me wanting to shake some poor bank teller until she cries uncle.
*seethes*
