She questioned the split 4 ways and required me to show her the debit card I was using.
Is there some magical way of hiding the card that people are using?
No magic. It's just most cashiers/CSR let you swipe and don't care what card you are using so long as it is debit. I've only had one cashier want to see my card - because she was so dim she didn't realize I could swipe at the terminal from my side. And then, to cap things off, she screwed up the transaction and had to void it all. PITA.
