can anyone spell I-R-O-N-Y ?

about 100 times a day or more i get to finish up a transaction by helping a customer decide which way to swipe their debit card in the machine (aka PoS pad) the thing is, on the device itself it shows a helpful little diagram of which way the card faces, but even that might be a little complicated for some. what's even more mindboggling is that in addition to the diagram, there is also instructions in clear, concise, bold-faced letters which state 'STRIPE FACES CASHIER'.


maybe people who can't read a simple sentence shouldn't be shopping at a book store and buying a big book full of sentences....baby steps consumers, baby steps.
