This is one of the most exhilarating design mistakes I have ever experienced. CVS seems to have gotten it figured out/changed to be an affirmative tone but nobody else has.

I always figured it wasn't about signalling that the transaction was completed but rather to remind the customer that their card is in the reader and not to forget it.

About a month ago I got a (genuine) text from google saying it had blocked a sign in to my google account using my password in the US, whilst i live in Europe. Changed the password but then today the same thing happened again, what's going on? What stupid poo poo might I be doing that compromises my password?

Not using a complicated enough password? Using the password on more than one site/thing? There is so much that you can be doing wrong really. Also it may be a "false positive" that they are seeing a login from the US but it is just you going to a site or app that uses your google login that is US based and therefor triggering it.

Yeah, I changed all that when I got the first text after years of neglecting my online security but thanks. That was my thought as well, but I was asleep both times it happened.

Not for long you don’t. At least if the username check out. Apropos scams...

Hah, I'm actually Swedish (albeit with an English mother) but 16 year old me thought he was a cool dude and that it would be a cool user name. Adult me... not so much, but I'm to lazy/care too little to have it changed.
