I was at the UPS store last last- they scanned my Debit card- the machine call center

which was odd- but I gave them my Amex card- then the machine said "off line"

so we decided the problem was with there machine

and I paid cash

well today I just checked my on-line banking and the money was taken out

I called the store- and they are double checking if my Amex was charged also b/c Amex takes a few days to post online

so I am glad I check and had my recipet
but I had no reason to think the charge went thru!
