So it's always best to have some form of pamphlet ready for JCB and UnionPay cardholders trying to use the Discover network here in the States, and Discover cardholders from the US trying to use the JCB or UnionPay networks over in Japan or China.
Haha. I got quite the looks trying to use my Discover card, even the occasional muttering to a co-worker and giggling.

I wish they'd add the Union Pay / JCB logos to the back of the card. Would definitely help in gesture based communication.
