These are the cashiers that will refuse a credit card or transaction because 
it failed to swipe. They'll ask me if I have another card, and give me a 
blank look when I saw "no". Hint, there's a keyboard on the register, and 
in the time it took you to swip my card slowly, quickly, top to bottom, wipe 
it on your shirt sleeve, repeat - you could have entered the number on the 
keyboard and taken my money, already!
