Being from australia, when i purchase something it could potentially be cash only, swipe CC, insert CC or use paypass/paywave (nfc).
Not once have I ever considered this to be 'dizzying'
I mean, if you insert the card and it needs you to swipe, it tells you to swipe the card right there on the terminal (or just doesnt have the chip slot on it).
Why dont people just throw their wallets at the register and start curling up into a ball when it doesnt work
- bkor 11y agoIn Netherlands they coordinated it. Any machine which switched from swipe to dip has their swipe covered with sticky tape. Before that they replaced the bank cards with one with both chip and magnetic strip on it. There was a deadline for merchants to switch and advertisements to inform the public. Dip is slower than swiping. NFC is fastest (because often you don't enter a PIN). Abroad is fun. Some places want my PIN and my signature! Others just one of them, a few nothing.
