For at least the last 10-15 years or so, we've been able to walk into any grocery store, swipe our debit card, and buy groceries. So how come people still don't get it?
A couple of weeks ago, I was in line, and the guy in front of me couldn't figure it out. Now, I understand swiping your card the wrong way or something, upside-down or the stripe facing the wrong way, but other than that, it's all straight forward. And this guy was taking forever. It was really weird. It's not like it's a new technology or anything. Cutting edge retinal-scan (which still wouldn't be confusing), but the guy took at least 5 minutes to get it going.
So I'm waiting there, and the guy finally finishes up. I step forward and get ready to have my items scanned, and the clerk goes, "Oh sorry. You'll have to go to another line. I'm closed."
What!?! I've been waiting behind this guy for over 5 minutes, and NOW you tell me? What the heck?!
And the guy closes down and walks off as I stare at him dumbly.
So I go to another line, and I'm the third person in line. And once again, the person at the register can't figure out how to use the debit card slider thingy. The night was kinda dumb.

How can you not know how to use the debit card machine slider thingy? At Safeway, enter your phone number, slide your card, enter your pin, say YES, I want money back, or NO I do not want money back. Then when it says, "Is this Amount Correct" press YES. And you're done.
.... That was kind of a dumb post. Sorry.
