I wish all stores had them. I can't think of a better innovation in shopping in my lifetime.

Maybe you guys live in heavily trafficked areas, but I've never had a machine malfunction.

I doubly love it because I don't have to scan my card and wait for the cashier to click "CREDIT" and then sign, and then have them verify my signature.

I usually have scanned my card and signed by the time the computer has finished scanning my last item, and I'm out in under a minute. I don't need personal interaction at a grocery store, not with a cashier at least.
