Albert Heijn and ING are no friends of each other. And I am in the middle of the problems the AH card readers face with my ING debit card. I ordered a new fresh card to overcome the non readability issues i had to deal with in almost every AH store. It only took two weeks before the problems started again. The friendly AH employee told me this problems exist already for a long time and nothing seems to be done to establish a workable situation. Here's the procedure they follow:
step 1: move the card slower
step 2: move the card slower the other way around
step 3: move the card faster
step 4: move the card faster the other way around
step 5: clean the card and repeat step 1 till 4
step 6: put the card in a thin plastic bag and repeat step 1 till 4
The friendly lady claims that step 6 has a success rate of about 90%!
But still....AH Corporate ICT boys and ING Corporate ICT gals dont you think it's time to come up with a more 2011 type of solution?
