not only has this sacred retail trick saved my ass while working, it’s also been useful to me when my own card stopped working. if a swipeable card won’t accept the swipe, no matter how many times you tried at different speeds in different directions, get a plastic bag and put it over the card and then swipe it. i don’t know why, but it works and it’s far easier than getting a manager’s key and punching the card number into the machine. also, most customers think it’s a great trick and it keeps them from becoming irate (even though it’s their own damn fault their card doesn’t work!).](http://25.media.tumblr.com/f43626819abeb8b8b6a2ed916cd506a7/tumblr_mjgty1bBRj1qm3qzeo1_250.jpg)
