>From what I have learnt so far.

Morrisions: Pass the cashier the card and they will point at the card
slot and ask you to insert it
Tescos: Put the card in the slot when asked for payment and they will
take it back out and swipe it and then ask you to enter your pin
Sainsbury:  Insert the card when asked for payment and then get told to
remove it until she has pressed a button and then re-insert it again

Most places: type a pin and then press enter
Some petrol stations: press enter then type the pin and then press
enter again.  Of course out of habbit you type the pin, press enter and
then stand there like a lemon because you have actually only got as far
as the first enter.

I hope they are going to standardise all of this because I never know
what to do for the best.
