Hi,
today, (Thursday), I was at this store again, (at around 3.30PM).
All the six self-service check-outs, close to the exit-doors, where closed.
A group of higher managers, (I think it must have been), were standing close to the four other self-service check-outs, on the other side of the cafeteria.
What was going on here?
How can six out of six self-service tills suddently not work?
Are you co-operating with the candid camera or something?

Hi,
I've worked as a store manager myself in Norway.
And if I had gotten a complaint like that, I would have called the company which runs the bank-terminals, and asked them what the problem was.
So this wasn't good custommer-support, I think.
Can I escalate this to your line-manager, please?

Dear Mr Ribsskog
Thanks for your email and further comments relating to your recent enquiry.
I’ve contacted the Rice lane store and discussed this with Nicola Edwards, the Customer Services Desk. She’s asked me to send her apologies and was disappointed to hear of your experience. She’s advised when a card is declined in store we aren’t able to establish the reason. There can be several factors which can cause this for example the merchant provider may be down.
I appreciate the time you have taken to contact us and I hope this information is helpful.
Kind regards

Hi,
thank you for your e-mail!
I don't think it could have been the card-provider, that the problem was with.
I don't think it could have been the card-provider, that the problem was with.
Because like one can see, on the recepits, that I attach copies of.
The card worked again, a minute after if first had been refused.
So it was just a temporarely problem, it seems.
But like I wrote to you earlier, I've worked full time, as a cashier, for almost a year, at OBS Triaden, in Norway.
And this was in 1990/91.
But we had bank-terminals, in every other till.
And even 20 years ago, this didn't happen.
If the bank terminals were off-line, then the custommer was told to sign a recepit, and this was then like a cheque, more or less.
So I think it's to bad, that this worked in Norway, 20 years ago.
But it doesn't work in the UK, today.
I know there is a company, in-between you and the banks.
(I know, because I've also worked as a retail manager in Norway, for ten years, in the Rimi-chain, owned by ICA).
So I think it could be some 'Gremlins' there perhaps.
This company was called 'Bank Accept', (or something), in Norway.
You probably have an equivalent, (to Bank Accept), here in the UK.
So I send again about this.
Perhaps you could escalate this to your line-manager.

Dear Mr Erik Ribsskog
Thanks for your email. I’m sorry your visa card payment was refused at our Rice Lane store on your recent visit. I understand your disappointment as there was enough money in your bank.
We are not aware of any faults with our card machines at the minute. I can only recommend that you contact your card provider.
We appreciate you taking the time to get in touch and make us aware of this and hope to see you in store soon.
Kind regards

User's Comments: I was in your supermarket, in Rice Lane, in Liverpool, on Saturday, (14/2).
My visa card payment was first refused, even if there was enough money, on the account.
I haven't experienced this before.
(Even if I've worked for almost a lifetime, in retail, in Norway).
Do you need the recepit-number etc., to investigate this?
Regards,
Erik Ribsskog
