Lowes

Have you ever noticed that the credit card readers at Lowe's never work on the first swipe? I was there today and it took about 20 swipes for the card to finally work. often the cashier just types in my number and gives up on the reader.
have you ever noticed that gas pumps work 99% of the time on the first swipe?
I know I am not a rocket scientist, (close though, my top jobs in my skills test were; rocket scientist, garbage man, forklift driver or engineer) but why can't we move everyone to a card reader that works right away, in some places you just have to be close enough to the machine (which makes me nervous that i might pay for some one's groceries just by walking to closely to the wrong side of an isle while getting a Cosmo)
What is Lowe's doing to correct this? I think it is time for them to get with the program and stop wasting America's time with their junk card readers.
