I live in Germany and I think this could be simplified: - Items are scanned - The cashier tells you the amount - You mention that you'll pay with your card, usually showing it is enough too - The cashier activates the chip scanner - You insert your card to the reader - Wait a second or two, the screen changes to "Enter PIN" - You enter your PIN and press the green button - You wait around 5 seconds and hopefully it says "{success_message}\n\n Please remove your card" - You remove the card and put it back to your wallet - Receipt is printed, the cashier discards it if you don't take it. Sometimes they ask if you want to take it.
