We don't have to do this step by step.

So I'll skip to the last step.

I go into a shop and buy a few items, I pay by card and present the receipt which is scanned and thus the amount subtracted from my account is that amount minus the receipt!

My account now has the same money in it as if the money had been originally been deposited into it.

The person who has an issue here wants to spend that money on something else. He still can. He still can, he just doesn't realise it. The money is still in his account.

Reminds me of the time people were demanding proof that manual returns take up extra staff time.

Or that taking containers in store for manual returns is fine from a hygiene standpoint because shoppers are smelly anyway.

Or who could forget the classic. Prove that people need space to store containers at home when before drs they could just crush them and throw into a wheelie bin.

And Im being called dim and told to cop on 🤣. This thread is some craic at times.
