Meanwhile, in the US, I was in line behind a 80ish year old lady paying by check at a pharmacy, less than a week ago. I hate the things with a passion.

- SOLAR_FIELDS 3y agoI remember in the mid 2000’s I was a bagger at a grocery store and the cashiers hated them too. They were by far the slowest way to pay for everyone involved. The cashier had to write down the drivers license and do several other precautionary measures due to the fraud associated with them. Eventually a lot of grocery stores just stopped taking them entirely.

- SOLAR_FIELDS 3y agoThe day they brought chip to the USA was a good one. In 2024 there will still be gas pumps who don’t support it. More than ones that do it seems. Fortunately it seems like everywhere else does support it. Eventually either gas pumps will become irrelevant or the old ones will be eventually replaced
