There's all this waiting, and pointing and clicking, and signing.

Ok, I agree that it's a bit annoying when I have to wait a few seconds before the terminal will allow me to tap, but it's wait, what, signing?

In all seriousness, the problem you're describing is archaic terminals. Here in Canada I can't remember the last time I signed for a credit card transaction; I very rarely even have to enter my PIN. And it's much faster than paying cash.

I have to sign at the supermarket, at the bookstore, at the hardware store, and at the pharmacy.
