Some are so bad I have to hold the reader up with one hand and swipe with the other. When attempting single swipes for BP or MO, I swipe and NOTHING HAPPENS. The second swipe usually works, but sometimes it takes a third. I keep telling the cashiers these readers are getting really old and are falling apart.
I'm not experienced enough to know what is an old reader or new reader. I will say that many of my DPs are at the same terminal.
