Cheating at the checkout

Okay, so it is not cheating. But this tip is needlessly handy.

For people living in some Great Lakes states, they will know the hypermarket known as Meijer. At the self-checkout, I use my debit card. When I press the button to pay, it will ask me on the swipe pad to swipe, chose debit, cash back, all that stuff. And on the Meijer touch screen, similar questions will be asked. 

Lo and behold, my breakthrough: You only have to use the swipe pad.

Once you are done scanning all items, just hit the "proceed to checkout" button and then just ignore the pay options. Swipe your card and follow the instructions there. You do not have to mess with giving double the information. And the receipt prints out just the same.
