Debit card貌似Credit card,但不是信用卡,是一种与支票一样用途的卡,是用户主银行帐簿里自己的钱.最近美国经济不景,银行正收紧银根,预防帐户不够钱支付小费等费用,免得银行赔钱,所以,顾客在餐馆买餐吃饭时用debit card买单,银行往往要收取比该金额多2-3元,等过2-3天后再还给该帐户.有的客人当天就上网查看帐目,一发现被多算了几元,以为被餐馆弄错了或想是餐馆故意多收他的钱,就打电话来询问或印一张帐单来吵闹,給老板和收银员带来诸多不便,甚至影响了餐馆的生意.我的餐馆就曾经发生过几次这样的事.更有甚者,有个无赖的顾客,手握第一张印的帐单天天来吵闹,我对他说,要以月结单(statement)为准,他就是不听,天天打电话骚扰,我对他说:We have been here for more than ten years,but we never charge customers too much money.If I chargred you too much, I will pay you double back!但他还是不肯罢休,又说可以不退钱,要吃免费的餐,我很生气地说:No way,never!!于是,不得不报警才解决问题.真是不胜其烦.有鉴于此,我打电话给我的儿子,叫他写一封告用debit card的顾客公开信email給我,我就抄写一张贴在收银机前的柜面上,从此一切问题就迎刃而解了.再没有类似的烦恼事发生了.现将这封信贴出来,餐馆同业如有需要参考,也许对您的工作有些少帮助,也算我们对乡亲们尽点绵力.祝各位春节愉快,牛年好运.
