A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

Maybe if we had a fucking standard for the where the fuck the tap to pay is. We all knew the swype and inserts were because we could see the slots.
But why be mysterious where the tap is? One machine will be in the corner but you can't tap until it lights. Some is on the screen and you can tap anytime. Some are on screen and you can't tap until you pick credit. Then there are those that say you can tap but the store doesn't have it turned on so you can't tap.
Pick a fucking standard. It's using the chip all over again, that was really fucking annoying too, you would go to swype and they say oh you need to insert the chip, next store you go to and you insert but they say that don't work and you need to swype.
My annoyance with the chip cards was that some of the POS machines would say
DO NOT REMOVE CARD
for a long time before silently switching to
REMOVE CARD
without any other visual cues than two words in 10pt font disappearing. Like c'mon, change the background color from red to blue or something.
Worse! My gas station flashes:
DO NOT REMOVE CARD
3 TIMES before
