I'm quite savvy with technology and it bothers me to check out at Square merchants for much of the same reasons. First and foremost, I want to see the price of the item as I am being rung up, doubly so if the price can vary based on my selections. (Why on a varied price? It serves as a check that the person taking my order has heard me correctly.) I strongly dislike signing with my finger, something that is very inconvenient during the time of year when the weather is cold outside since I'm usually wearing gloves.

Since a lot of my small-purchase/walk-in shopping is done when I'm walking around a densely-populated area, I've found myself shying away from places that advertise "Pay with Square" or that have an iPad for a terminal. If there's something equivalent nearby, I'll just go there, especially if that store has a PIN pad.
