  1. From what I’ve seen, pretty common reaction to anyone who has to use sumup

  2. I do notice so many people don’t get what CONTACTLESS means.

    Marketing doesn’t help either telling people to “tap”. Don’t tap! Hover!

    But yeah, drunk people motor control + tap phone to pay = bonk!

  3. Barclays banking services have collapsed over the weekend. A lot of people frozen out of their accounts.

  4. sus af

    put a contactless reader in there under the damage, skim peoples card details

  5. The owners could always argue that it’s so they can be certain nobody has put a skimming device on it. 🤣

  6. I ain’t not expert but “Sum-up” with that for sure!

  7. Probably broken by one of the staff out of frustration, they are so unreliable but it seems that these things work better when they are broken than brand new out of the box.

    Where I work we use these and they are constantly losing connection, not reading cards, just turning off randomly, not turning on or just SumUp having server problems every other week. They are a fucking nightmare.

    I dropped one machine from the staggering height of 1 inch onto its back and it just fell apart like throwing Lego down the stairs but my god that thing works much better than the brand new ones. Half the keypad is the remains of the faceplate is superglued together it looks like it was hit by a bomb but fuck me I’d rather use it than one of the new ones straight from the box.

  8. Likely a few famished patrons, tried nibbling on it before their order arrived…

  9. Unlikely just because of impact damage.
    I’m willing to bet they clean it with a chemical cleaner way too aggressive for the plastic, and it made it brittle.

  10. You would not believe the shit that card machine has seen. That bastard’s seen the sunrise over the Tannhauser Gate.
