The waitress told me that UnionPay and her manager advised her to always select option 1 because it is better for their foreign customers. In any event, the new UnionPay machines are really easy to beat if you take matters into your own hands.
Really, sweet. A ray of hope of compliant machines. Now if we can just get unionpay to stop spreading lies... What bank was it?
