Credit Card Signatures Are About to Become Extinct in the U.S

I'd be happy if the text didn't change until it was done. Many of the machines I encounter change the "Wait, don't remove card" text location three or four times, each time you think it is done.

The problem is the text "Don't remove the card" contains the phrase "remove the card". I wish they just used a positive statement like "Keep card inserted" instead, and then changed to "Remove card".

Just another one of those minor accessibility things that would be dead simple to fix if the people in charge gave a shit about usability.

Yep. Or "processing" -> "complete"/"declined"

On the other side, many of the machines I use don't even change the text at all: it just keeps saying "leave card inserted" and the cashier tells me "just remove your card... it's long done".
