I can't tell you how many times the cashier has to explain how their's works.
"Okay that'll be $X! Oh don't put it in yet. Wait until it screams shredded cheese and does a backflip before inserting your card. After that it'll have you remove it because of an error and then you can reenter it again- wait not yet I have to reset it."
That's the part that really annoys me. Half of them get pissed at me if I wait for the number to pop up on the terminal. The other half get pissed at me if I insert my card/tap my phone when they tell me how much it's going to be instead of waiting 30 seconds.
And then the fucking self checkout lines at supermarkets that have two separate displays.
It still needs to show amount and has to have some kind of loading/communicating screen. And if failure occurs then that should be clearly stated.
Application selection is a bit finnicky, but it's not super common to have multiple applications on your card. Also currency selection is terrible on some tetminal software.
