I'm another that can't see the source of confusion.

I use an old fashioned motorcycle garage.  They don't even have a till, just
handwritten bills.  C&P m/c on counter - wired (power/phone). If you pay by
card the owner types in the amount, you authenticate.

A toy shop in Tenby I use has a card machine that again isn't connected to
tills in any way. On holiday this year the wife was paying at one till, I
at another - The total was put through as a single transaction (at a 3rd
location).
