Card fuckup is the only reason I have even a little cash on hand. Even the second hand store near me takes cards now. It is my policy if I am any distance from home to carry a spare car key, and enough cash to fill the tank and get home.
Considering that we could eliminate fraud with a private key chip card, this is really, really sad.

- tomjen3 8y agoOh I don't carry the cash on me. I probably should worry more about muggers, but I just can't get myself to be afraid, so.
- perl4ever 8y agoIt's fairly common to read a story about how some carjackers abandoned a car because it unexpectedly had a manual transmission, but I think I also read about a case where they shot the driver out of pique.
