What’s worse I find is self-checkout’s (at least in the UK) require a member of staff to clear your failed payment. Like, there’s no reason it couldn’t just go back to “Try again”, instead the light goes red, the single person who has already approved your over 18 purchases, your brought your own bag alert, etc. has to come back on their route of 40 self checkouts to check that you have in-fact not got enough money on your card, and then to stand next to you (or worse, bugger off to someone else) for you to try again or use a different card. Argh.
