About the credit/debit/atm on the previous page, I'm a cashier... I hear it all the time.
"Here's my ATM card"
I'm gonna smack you. It's a debit or credit card, or I don't need it. Not that I've had somebody hand me a card that didn't work. Not that I've seen an "ATM" card, exclusively, that couldn't be run as debit/credit. But I guess in theory that can exist. And it's only function is to take out money in increments of 20 dollars. What a useless thing.
ATM card, though, is definitely NOT an umbrella term for credit/debit cards. The umbrella acronym is EFT. Debit/Credit is EFT. Food stamps is EBT. I don't know exactly the meaning, and won't look it up. But it's electronic __ transaction
