To a certain extent you are right about it. I try my best to use my credit card in place of cash coz at least I get points for my spendings. And from my observations, it's not just the cashier - probably the whole place and staff are not used to their customers using cc thus they don't make an effort to educate the cashier on how to use the system nor their supervisor bothers.
For example, KFC has been a cash outlet for so many years and suddenly they allow customers to use credit card. If the cashier is having problems with the paypass
1. Best scenario, they will slot in the card into the cc machine and you need to sign the slip. (Sometimes the Paypass version also they ask to sign, I don't blame them coz it's likely their supervisor who gave the instruction)
2. They try to slot the card in the machine, something goes wrong and they ask you to pay in cash after a few tries. Likely that you will see that there's only 1 machine working in the entire store. Suddenly all the other machines are not working ?
3. The worst if they will just take the easy way out and say that the machine is out of order but actually it is working just fine.
Burger King outlet accepts cc as well (I go to the one in KLCC). Machines used to be working well and then only 1 works. Now they just tell me that the machine is not working at the moment and it has been the case for many weeks already.
I just can't believe they think that customers are that stupid and this is one of the examples of bad habits within the Malaysian services industry.

We need to get rid of our 3rd world mentalities.

cc terminal in malaysia quite slow la i think...
when i shopped in london,frankfurt & paris, their terminal really fast...it's really take only a swipe..straight forward receipt will come out....i also quite surprise since the card is from local bank (i used ambank mastercard & bank islam mastercard & citibank visa)....
plus they always prefer using card rather than cash....most of customer use card....even 5 Euro KFC meal...
its true we must get rid off 3rd world country mentality.... sometime i annoy with merchants who do not accept cc payment if purchase less than certain amount (rm30 or rm50)....if u dont want u customer pay using card, just get rid off that cc terminal & "Visa & MasterCard accepted here"...
