Kind of a tangent, but the fact that signing credit card receipts is still a thing during this pandemic is absurd. Doing this was useless enough during normal times.
I don't actually know the reason, but it does seem like small businesses are more likely to require signatures than chains. Why is that?
- r00fus 7y agoIt probably has everything to do with fees from credit card processors. A "card checked & signed" transaction has a lower fraudulence rating so has a lower fee associated. What's the most surprising is that contactless payment isn't being pushed as a safety priority.
- cardiffspaceman 7y agoI've been going along the learning curve with Apple Pay, who has it, what state the the phone have to be in for it to work, learning not to press the glyph the UI presents me but instead press the actual fingerprint sensor. At some places they will be putting the terminal out towards my window so our hands are coming within a foot of each other. Once the terminal was afixed to a shelf within reach of the car window. The terminal has buttons and a card slot so it can't be behind glass for chipped credit cards, but I wonder if for NFC it could be.
