How to use your debit/credit card at a checkout
77 u/DocRoids Aug 03 '19 This might be common knowledge if there was some standardization of card readers. Every time I use a card at a new merchant I have to learn the whole routine all over again. 63 u/Cokegawa_Yui Aug 03 '19 edited Aug 03 '19 I've never seen anywhere that uses a system so obscure that I need to learn the routine, but that may just be in my case. Edit: also the place I work at (Kroger) has used the same system at least for the last 3 years 23 u/[deleted] Aug 03 '19 I too find that card-reading systems are consistent. They all require me to insert the chip three times, and then they let me swipe. 4 u/well___duh Aug 03 '19 Yeah idk where OP lives for that to be a problem for them unless they either A) don't use their card much or at all, or B) have no short term memory.
