HEB's proprietary card readers don't have tap functionality and I get a bad chip read error every time I go to the grocery store.

Like another poster mentions above its machine design, there's no standard. The reader can be anywhere on the machine with no clear indication on where to tap.

And then there's HEB. You'd think the biggest grocery chain in Texas would have a better feel for tech.
