I was at a food truck festival in Denver and saw something weird with the card readers

I grabbed a taco from a truck and the guy had two different card readers set up, one on a phone and a separate square terminal. He said he uses the phone for regular cards and the terminal just for tap payments because the phone app kept glitching on those. It made the line move super slow, like 5 minutes for three people. Has anyone else seen a vendor run two separate systems like that? Seems like a hassle.

Terry has a point, it is a smart workaround. The guy found a fix for his tap payments not working right. I would rather wait a few extra minutes knowing my payment goes through than have the whole thing crash. Mary776, that setup might be annoying but it beats the vendor just giving up and only taking cash. He is trying to make it work with what he has.

Actually sounds like a smart workaround to me.

That setup would drive me nuts as a customer. Just get one reader that works right.
