Anyway, I think I've used my physical epass card twice as a "credit" card... so that's a 50% failure ratio. I'll stick with using my standard Visa from now on, epass is only for getting cash out of the ATM.

It happens because the restaurant place a pending charge on your account to make sure you have the funds in your account. Then when they run the charge they are supposed to drop the pending charge. Unfortunately not everyone does this and thats when this situation occurs.
