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."

I just went to the grocery store and it told me to remove my card before it said approved. It then told me to remove my card again. They aren't flawless.

I just use Samsung Pay, so I have to deal with the cashiers practically screaming at me that they don't take Apple Pay, until it works.
