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.
