Finally one turned up, told us the system had crashed and that we could re-scan our items on the one machine that was still up and running, without fear of being charged twice. I verified this fact with the Customer Service desk and Mrs Fox triple-checked with "Destiny" on the way out. I think you can guess the rest.
I certainly understand your frustration, but why are you entering a PIN? I hope you are not using a debit card, which is not safe at all.
