I've been working retail almost 3 years, a lot of people don't know how to use a card to pay for things.

No, wiping it over the machine like a cloth won't make it work better.

Ironically, doesn't it? If you don't know where the reader and chip are (sometimes it's not clear), keeping the card close and moving it all over will eventually hit the spot ;D

Has a very high failure rate. The more you move the card, the less likely the card is to work. If you put it in the proper spot and then wiggle it around, at least on most of the machines near me, it'll nearly always fail.

Wiping the card over the machine makes my machines throw a contact error and spit out a failure receipt.
