It doesn't bother me that I had to punch in my pin, what bothers me is the strange way they put it: "Do you know your pin?" I've never seen that before, and it struck me as particularly odd.
And, you're right about running it as a CC. Another good thing about doing it that way, that I'm sure many college students can attest to is: When you run it as a credit card it usually takes a couple days longer to clear. Especially helpful when you're waiting for a paycheck.
Thanks for the comment, Suzi.

If ya use your debit card as a credit card, ya don't have to punch any other #s in...
And they're carhops, not waitresses...
