Quiet on the 93: my mobile reader died mid-line at a downtown stop

Wednesday around 7:40 AM at the Dudley Square station, my old Square reader just froze on a $4.65 coffee transaction. No error message, just a spinning wheel while a line formed behind me. I told the customer to hold on, rebooted the app twice, then pulled out a paper carbon slip I keep as a backup. That got us through, but I had to hand-key the card number manually and it took over 5 minutes. Has anyone else had an older reader lock up right at peak rush, or is it just my unit?

Pulled the battery on mine at Park Street, fixed it instantly.
