+1 ..I've been buying coffee recently from 7-11 in the morning, and I noticed there credit card swiper UI. When I use my debit card, ive always used 'credit' not debit, and im sure a huge % of people do the same, and here are the steps... Swipe card Is this a debit card? Y/N I Click No Do you want cash back? Y/N I Click No Then you must click cancel to run to bring up credit option ( but no instructions to do so) Then click credit, then click okay to the amount. Then its finally completes the purchase.. now each step takes a few seconds after each click, and you must use there stylus because just usingyour fingers wont work! I know this is a random comment, but UI related and ivd just noticed this recently, every 711 here on long island has the same machines! It doesnt seem like alot of steps but i bet the lines would move alot faster if they tweaked the UI a tiny bit!
