TL:DR Man is denied sale with his Debit Card. Man pretends to call the bank and gives a fake over-ride code. It works and he does it 42 times.

This is a hysterical life hack of an ancient system. That all a clerk has to do is hit manual override after receiving a specific number of digits from a customer or bank. When we live in a world of the internet this is the solution?
