7 cents  

I think I've charged 0.03 cents to debit before because I didn't have enough to cover. Kind off silly but when you have nothing else to do then you've gotta do that. Sometimes though cashiers are nice and just use change they found and layed on their register. Atleast that's what I'd do when I worked at this one place. Lol, I was always finding change because I swept around areas no one else would.

Oh gee the place didn't have a penny cup in case someone is short? what else can you do though, I try to never use it under five dollars as credit.

$4. and some change to cover my prescription last week. I am surprised they did not let you go for the change.

I'm surprised they would make you do that. I'm quite loose with my till at work and if someone's short I just round it down. I don't even use pennies anymore. It seems silly for a store to run a debit card through for so little when it would probably cost them less to just take it out of the till. Then of course there's always the take a penny, leave a penny dish. I think the smallest amount I've used my card for was probably just over $1 for a snack on a work break. And I felt pretty silly!

I have never had to put that little on a debit card before, but I would do it if I had to. Were you at Walmart by chance? I like the boneless BBQ chunks.

.10 cents

I have had to do things like that. The sad thing is why wouldn't the cashier just add it in for you? I worked retail as a cashier for a while and trust me....a ton of people don't want those few extra cents for their change. I would always set it aside and by the end of my shift I would have at least 10 or 15 pennies sitting there. If someone was short change then I would just throw it in for them and at the end of my shift I would give the remaining to my supervisor so my drawer wouldn't be over. Speaking of gift cards ...don't you hate when you only have a few cents left on your gift card and they leave the balance on the card instead of figuring out a way to give you the remaining change?!?! I know it is only a few cents sometimes but in a situation like you had it would have been nice to have that in your wallet. Just a gripe of mine.

That wouldn't happen out here. They would have just taken the $10 and not worried about the seven cents. Or else they would ask you to pay it when next you returned to the store. Just for seven cents? But then I am not a business women and if I were then I would not be successful as I would have just taken the $10 flat.

You must have been at Walmart. I live 3 minutes away from one and so I go ALL the time. I love the general Tso's and the BBQ chunks! I think I'm the only one in my family that likes the Chicken tenders though,(I eat them with the sweet and sour sauce).
But I have actually charged a 4 dollar purchase to a credit card before! I was only about 18 then, I didn't know any better.

that is really funny... i think the cashier should just let you go with 7 cents instead of insisting to charge it to your debit card... anyway, that is life... even when you are short of 1 cent, they will still charge you... for me, the minimum i have ever charged to my credit card is about $2... i never go any lower than that... take care and have a nice day...
