It has the benefit that you can pay at any of the eight counters instead of just two where they also accept cash. But I need to check how much money I still have on that card. So I go to one of four machines where you can put money on your card. The first machine is dead. So I go to another one where I can see some blinking on the red display.
Next machine has even more people.
While I wait I study the table with the menu. Obviously, the reform on orthography was invented here. The folks in front of me have never used the machine. I tell them. One by one.
