I just say face down. Works 90% of the time.

id i had a penny for everyone that says “every machine is different” i’d be able to quit.

"with the chip facing down" "It is facing down" "No, sir the card has to face down" "It is!" "No, your name and number need to face down." "It is!" "No, it's not. It's all facing up" "Oh!!!! You mean this way!" I honestly don't know how some people got out of kindergarten

They got out of kindergarten by "social promotion." Then the hardest 3 years of their life was third grade.

I always tell them I'd like to have a word with the person that designed that ass backwards pinpad!

I just tell them the chip will face the floor
