    Yeah, please wait for the attendant after every purchase because that one has a virus that eats up all its cycles and nobody here understands computers.

Similar, my store sometimes has a checkout that doesn't accept cash. Just walk away, even if you were going to use a card. If that message comes up, you'll never get past it. The attendant will try to fix it, and it might even look like they did, but it will be in vain.
