Hey everyone!
Be cautious when someone hands out their portable card terminal. Check the price twice before the merchant tries to charge your card!
Yesterday on 26th of June I visited my favorite automatic car wash as I always do and some "Indian looking" employee of the car wash not only scammed me of 6 francs but was outrageously impolite.
Of course they denied everything and didn't even care when I showed them all the proof.
I double checked the time of purchase on both the receipt and the bank app and whatever else detail there could be. Heck, even the receipts says 14 CHF but when you look at your bank app… oh my the guy just made 6 francs of a tip.
What absolutely destroys me is that this happened in broad daylight in Switzerland. Not in France, not in India, not anywhere where scams are a common issue.
Stay on guard. When we're used to things working out perfectly, that's when we are the easiest to be taken advantage of.
Have a great day!

With the receipt I will initiate a dispute on Revolut to charge the money back. 20 CHF is not big but a lesson for the merchant and makes the feeling better.

But yeah, this may have been your own fault.
Cmon now mistakes happen. Also there is not a single reason to state that persons ethnicity which just makes this seem like if that happened with a white person you wouldnt have cared.
status pending… might just have been an authorization like the gas stations do with the real amount being charged afterwards… wait until the status is settled but keep the receipt till then
Did the guy enter the amount manually into the Card terminal?
Nit everything is a scam, maybe people need to check a dictionary every now and then
