Why do you have to touch the screen? Here in Australia, I never make physical contact with anything.

- MarkSweep 7y agoThere are still prompts on the terminal like “credit or debit” or “please enter your PIN” or “type your phone number for reward card points” or “push X if you want orphans to starve”. (Safeway has the last one commonly.)
- grecy 7y agoThe US is very far behind when it comes to payments. It's still quite common for someone to take your card and swipe it and want a signature. Every time I go down there from Canada I get confused and feel like I've gone back in time 8 years.
- OrgNet 7y agoWhen my dad comes from Canada to the US, he still has to touch it because he has to enter a PIN. But at most stores, when I use the chip from my US card, I don't have to touch the terminal at all.
