I do not know my partners PIN, nor he mine. I was married for nearly 20 years and at no time knew my husbands PIN either.

Whats wrong with that?

No trust within partners if you ask me and if I am perfectly honest a bit sad IMO.

You don't know your partners pin numbers, I bet you sleep in separated beds aswell, and have your own food cupboards.

Now your just been silly.

I know for a fact that NO ONE knows ANY of my PINs, and I don't want to know anyone elses either. If I don't know their PIN, I can't be accussed of using their cards.

And its PIN, not "PIN Number". The "N" in "PIN" means "Number". No need to duplicate it.

There's nothing sad about keeping within your account terms and conditions. Not everyone wants to blab their sensitive, personal information to everyone.

The cashier was totally in the right to retain the card, and if it had proven to be stolen, then yes, she would have got a £50 reward, it happened to me and paid for my daughter's first bike looooooooooooong time ago, surprised it's still £50 though. I'm struggling to think of a yellow supermarket tho?

Think M more think T for trust.

I know it's not just me who share my pin with my missus.

Morrisons. Why does no-one say it ?

Maestro.

Perhaps my judgement has been clouded by the immense feelings of frustration.

They should still have asked for the goods I'd purchased back if they thought that I could have been using the card fraudulently. Maybe I'm just knitpicking though.

I still think this gung-ho approach to confiscating the cards is over the top. Yes we live in a world of rules and regs but in the age of Chip and Pin, I'm sure cards are used by partners all the time. Even the guys patting the cashier on the back have probably done it.

oh well, live and learn

Thanks for the feedback.

Of course they will, even people in this thread have probably done it, but as ever with these things its a case of "do as I say, not as I do".

I like Morrisons.

It keeps the riff raff out of Waitrose.
