Best Buy Checkout = Good

I bought some CD-R’s (50 for $2.99 with rebate, what a deal!) from Best Buy today, as well as a copy of Advance Wars 2 for the GBA. I really like Best Buy’s little card swiper thing. It says “You may swipe your card at any time”. I like this a lot because I can go ahead and swipe my card while the cashier is scanning all the items and getting a total. This way I don’t have to wait for her to finish, then swipe my card and enter my PIN number and all that stuff.

None of the other card swipers I’ve ever used make it clear that you can swipe your card before you have a total. Even if it is possible, I’m afraid to try it because it might mess up my purchase and the cashier would have to start over. And I certainly can’t ask the cashier about it, that would be embarrassing!

So, Best Buy gets 2 thumbs up in the checkout process from me.
