Suica Payment Glitch: Protecting Your Money at the Checkout

You can hear the voice recording for the diary.

 

「焼肉きんぐ」での会計中、Suica決済で店側の端末だけがエラーになるというトラブルに見舞われた。

During checkout at Yakiniku King, a glitch occurred where my Suica payment was marked as complete on my device but failed on the shop’s terminal.

 

自分の端末では決済完了になっているのに、危うく店員の指示通りに二度目の支払いを済ませてしまうところだった。

I was nearly pressured into paying a second time, which would have essentially doubled the cost of my meal and ruined the entire experience.

 

もし倍の金額を払っていたら、せっかくのお得なランチが台無しになるし、その分でもっと豪華な食事ができてしまう。

Had I paid twice, the value of that affordable lunch would have vanished, and I could have spent that extra money on a much more luxurious meal elsewhere.

 

相手が誰であれ、言われるがままに応じるのではなく、まずは自分の手元で事実を確認する冷静さが不可欠だと痛感した。

This incident reminded me that regardless of what a staff member says, I must always verify the facts on my own end before proceeding.

 

「自分のお金は自分で守る」という原則を改めて心に刻み、今後も徹底した自己管理を貫いていこうと思う。

I have recommitted myself to the principle of “protecting my own assets” and will ensure strict self-management of my finances moving forward.
