I noticed the punishing error sound that these devices emit when the transaction is successful and it's time to remove the card. I thought I was alone in noticing and being annoyed by it. Why not make two sounds - one for successful transaction -> remove card and the other for unsuccessful transaction -> remove card ???

Another seemingly unsolvable problem for about 15 years with these machines is choosing whether to use credit or debit. In order to use credit, you have to press "Cancel" when it asks for the pin. Obtaining the answer to this very simple question has and continues to be beyond the technical ability of these imbeciles for nearly a generation.
