credit card fraud,anyone?

today iz d first day of my full-time work..in a cafe cum restaurant cum grocery.. basicali my job is to serve d customers, waitress, make drinks.. n etc etc..

it was an interesting day indeed.. i was given a practical "exam" played by the senior staffs there.. where they pretended to be the customers n i the waitress... so they were bombarding questions n demands at me.. a few being..
"i want to eat macdonald burger here, coz i buy your drinks."
"any alcoholic drink here?" i havent cek tis out yet. i failed, definitely. bt thank goodness.. the objective was only to train me.
"any japanese food?" i was cramming my brain with the menu items.. tat i blacked out. "No, we don't serve any japanese food here, unfortunately." "Are you sure????? my fren just ate....." of course.. i was wrong again.
"i want chicken.. and chicken spareparks as well." hello???? spare tyre is it??? fat??
"if i buy a chicken from your grocery, can u cook it for me?" excusez moi??? am i ur maid??
"any buy 2 free 1 drink?"
"can u make ur dry noodle not dry?" ok.. mayb som customers r 3-5 times worse than these..

though some questions sound absurd.. but tat's wat life is. clients, afterall.. are our priority. :P

n d best part was.. i was trained on how to detect a fraud credit card! oh boy.. n of course.. wat to do when you're suspicous on d authenticity of a credit card. There were at least 8 points to look at..

We were first given each 2 samples of genuine credit cards, both visa n mastercard.. n a MAGNIFYING glass. gues wat do we do with it? ngek ngek ngek.. guess first.. here are the 2 points tat i feel ok to share it here. d rest.. i juz dun feel ok with it.

1. Visa cards' numbers begin with 4, whereas mastercard 5.
2. Visa cards' hologram pic is made of a flying dove, whereas mastercard globe. .

tang tang !! n more... delicate, detailed stuffs tats never crossed my mind!
