Isn't that bad thing? I heard that doing that can charge your card each time you do that. I hope not, because I was in Wal-Mart and the girl said so many people are doing transactions today that the systems have slowed or something. Is that true or is she trying to steal my money?

Often if your card is worn out, it won't read the information, and it needs to be swiped sometimes several times. Being busy shouldn't have anything to do with it, as it should hold your information once it's swiped, until the time it is processed.

It's not unusual for a card to get somewhat worn out, and need a number of swipes to read.
No, you'll just be charged once, since on the earlier swipes you didn't complete the transaction.

sometimes it is the card, if you put it in a small plastic bag and swipe it, usually works every time
