Had a cashier tell me my total was $47.62 and then she just stood there staring at me for 20 seconds

This was at a grocery store in Columbus last Tuesday. I had my card out already and everything but she didn't say anything about the reader or ask if I wanted cash back. Just stared. I stood there awkwardly for a bit then finally asked if the machine was working and she goes "oh yeah sorry I was waiting for you to tap" without moving. It was like she expected me to read her mind or something. Has anyone else had a checker just freeze up mid transaction like they forgot how the job works?

I see what you're saying but I kind of get where the cashier was coming from. She probably figured you knew the card reader was ready since most people just tap without being told anymore. It sounds like a simple miscommunication, not her forgetting how to do her job.
