I recently spent an entire lunch break trying to get fuel at a gas station.
They had a problem with their credit card system (failed just after they
charged my card $50) and a simultaneous mechanical failure at pump I had
chosen.  At one point the LCD on the pump came up with the string "POS
fail".  I was momentarily amazed at the pump's frankness before I realized
it was using definition #1 above.
