nicer than Mr Pipi would be, I can tell you that.

He is not much older than you, and resents being treated like his brain has turned to oatmeal.

Judging by the electronics and video cameras and all the rest of what we have around here, he could probably take that card reader apart and put it back together again blindfolded, and wouldn't mind telling the cashier exactly that.

As for me, I always make sure to have my card out with the appearance that I'm ready to pounce on the card reader as soon as the total comes up on the register.
