[VZW] Google Wallet Not Updating Funds.

So in the last few days I have used Google wallet a couple times at Burger King. The first time I went I had a balance of $16.21 on my prepaid card. After the 2 trips and breakfast I still have $16.21 remaining. Anyone else noticing their balance not being reduced when they use it?

Hell I really have no idea what the real balance is. Both times I got receipts showing paid.

I even just updated Google wallet in the play store just a few minutes ago figuring it would work its self out.
 
Wonder if that particular BK's payment system is jacked up... Can you see the transactions in your history?

I see one of them. I think the first one isn't showing up because I didn't tap the terminal again to verify like it asked me to do. Both receipts show the correct account.
 
I will get the verification thing from time to time, I never do it, but it still ends up showing up in my history... Strange... I dunno what's going on.
 
I think it's like any traditional debit card that if the machine takes it as debit, it updates almost instantly. But if it reads it as MasterCard credit, it can take a while to post. I had one restaurant not post for 5 days once.

This is the first time it has never taken the funds out and updated immediately. This thing has been sitting at the same amount for weeks now.

That is unusual. Do you always wind up at the same register and use the same pad or does it change? If so, maybe that one pad is just malfunctioning and giving you free food as a result. If not, then I have no idea what the problem would be.

LOL register, I'm too lazy to go inside :-) It's always the same one at the drive through. And now that I think about it I have used it 3 times with the same amount showing.
 
That might be the issue then, that one reader is just fubared in some way.

If that was the case I would think that the payment wouldn't go through and it wouldn't show up in my transactions. Like I said, I got receipts from all transactions showing paid I with the correct account number.
