Goated tap to pay techniques
The HOUDINI: hover the creditcard +/-1mm close enough to the machine for the tap to register. The suspense is in making it take a really long time.
The INSANITY: Fail to actually tap and put your credit away. Then pull it out again and fail to tap and put it away again. Repeat.
The SHOCKWAVE: Make an impact. Palm that creditcard into the pax terminal with such gusto it kills the machine by setting off the preventative tamper measures.
The BLUFF: Keep trying the same declining card while thoroughly wiping the chip each time like that's the problem.
