We was not pleased about that!

You should be. It means that she was actively checking, and had somebody else presented your card, they probably wouldn't have got served..
This is similar (although not exactly the same) to something that happened when I bought a fridge. The cashier entered my name slightly incorrectly (she put a space where she shouldn't). The cash register refused to authorise my card. I spoke to the bank to clear it up, and it took quite a while to sort it out. I was happy, however, as it proved that their security systems worked.
That is one problem with C&P. Retailers will not be checking things like signatures, and a pin, being 4 digits, should theoretically be easy to crack.
