Oh the cvv and all the other information most definitely has to be accurate, it's just the zip code that it'll still accept with whatever number you put in (in fact I'm really the only person there that ever puts the actual zip code, including the gm, which is sort of ridiculous seeing as generally it takes about 3 seconds to do)It does matter. There should be a 3 or so digit security code on the receipt. If it doesn't pass, the transaction still goes through, but the code secretly tells you if it passes or not. Your company should be training you to deny the sale if the code doesn't "pass". IF that credit card is stolen and gets rejected in the end by the bank when the owner finds out about it, your company will have to pay the money back, a possible fine, and be out what ever merchandise was sold. When they go to fight it with the card machine company that little code on the receipt that didn't pass with be their f**k you to your company and saves their ass in a law suit.
Every single time you are entering in what ever zip code you feel like, it is failing that credit check. That machine won't deny the card unless it's been reported stolen, it's up to you to verify if the card is legit to that particular person. It is crazy to me how lax a lot of companies are with people's information and credit transactions. Our accounting/legal department would s**t a brick if they found us faking the zip codes or any other information just to get the card to go through.
We have been entering in zip codes in the machine the whole 5 years I have been with this company and not one person has never known their zip code. Maybe it's our customers being upper class?
I think the whole not knowing the zip code thing has more to do with the fact that there's a lot of people who aren't from here, and are either here for school or work and they aren't sure if it's under the address they live at here or the address where they're from (it's in upper northwest dc so most of the people coming in are definitely not low class, of course there's exceptions but for the most part it's a lot of upper class white families and dumb rich kids from american university - the au students usually being the ones who don't know what tax is and who confuse zip codes with area codes and such -of course there's also smart normal people who go to au, it just seems like most of the ones I encounter fall under the former category. We also get people who are diplomats that don't understand english very well, and that's the other main group that has issues with understanding what you mean by 'zip code'.)
All of the pertinent credit/debit card information is definitely sent through, but I'm not so sure about the zip code (sometimes the system will automatically send it through with the zip code of the address when more often than not the card is not billed to the delivery address), but if it does send the zip code information somewhere it clearly can't have much of an effect (at least not in this particular case, I'm sure it depends on the company and bank and probably a few other factors), in eight years of working there, with all of my coworkers and managers regularly putting in incorrect billing zip codes for customers that come in weekly at the least and sometimes more than that, I would think that if there was some sort of an issue with it it would've surfaced by this point.
I use to wax my ex-fiance. Dood had a years supply of Nad's. I'd come home from work and there he was in the bathroom going to town on his chest.
If they want it bad enough, they will make it happen.
