you make your purchase, you SEE the total BEFORE you swipe the card. swiping goes down without a problem. then you do your pin magic, and move on to the cash back questions. reasonable and potentially helpful question, i admit. but, i always say no so i can keep annoying myself with this dreadful process.
after saying no to cash back you get prompted by the most useless and time wasting steps to every transaction. "is this total ok?" . well, maybe im an idiot, but would i have swiped my card if i didnt think the total was agreeable? what happens if you say no? does it cancel it and make you go through the whole experience again?
seems like a waste of my time. maybe im alone in noticing its complete and utter pointlessness, but i have a sneaking suspicion im not.

totally agree about the debit card questions. pointless
Next time I'm at the grocery store and I swipe and I'm faced with the idiot question "is this total ok," I'm going to tell the cashier it's not and that I'd like a new one ... preferably lower. I'll try it at Wal-mart first - those blue vests' are always so jolley and helpful! :)
This reminds me of Peter Griffin's "You know what really grinds my gears" on Family Guy. lol

ha, yeah, that is a good episode of family guy. and lisa, it might just work at walmart. i doubt the people working there would be smart enough to know any better
