I went in this place just now and there are no signs whatsoever and
the reader is hidden with a load of other clutter on the side of the
counter - it took me a while to spot it. So I can't imagine it's ever
used.


My local corner shop/post office has an Oyster reader/top up machine. OK
if you've got cash, but they charge an extra 50p if you want to use a
debit card.


That's the store's policy, not TfL's, because businesses are charged for
using debit cards.
