me: tries to pay power bill, 3 cards that all normally work fine declined
me, emailing the payment processor: hey we're trying to pay our bill and 3 cards that normally work fine were all declined, are you guys having a glitch
payment processor: your bank declined the payment contact them
me, trying again two days later: payment goes through fine
i am so tired of this particular type of chucklefuckery
@eniko there’s one payment processor in the USA that declines every card every time if I put in my 9 digit postal code. If I just use 5 digits it works. FFS if you can’t handle 9 digits just truncate the input. Or at least say 5 digit code only
@eniko So you’re saying nothing has changed in 45 years. I remember sitting at my Apple ][ writing the structure of my program in BASIC, but doing all the graphics routines in instant input assembler because otherwise everything was way too slow. And I felt the same way. Of course I was a high school student and only programming for me and my friends.
