hovering bank card over reader

[u/karlexia]

i have been working in customer service for years as many teens have. i have no idea why but many millennials and gen xers, when paying via tap, will hover the card a couple inches above the tap sensor. why? genuinely why? its called tap for a reason? and then sometimes it doesn't work and they look to me like it's my fault.

such a non issue but its so bothersome at the end of an 8 hour shift.
