Re: unauthorized charge on my debt card
The first step should be to call the merchant. This may be an error, or a charge (theft) by one of the employees, and the store manager will want to know about it in either case. Either way, the first step should be to politely discuss it with the manager. My guess is that this will resolve the problem. If this does not work, a call to the credit card company should resolve the dispute.
