[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m in my mid-40s. I’ve evolved right along with the credit card reader. I’ve paid for groceries with a check before. I remember when you used to have your credit card ran through a reader. I remember when magnetic strips became a thing. I remember when tap-to-pay became a thing. The newest credit card readers aren’t new.

So why is so is it so confusing for certain people? It’s like they’ve never used their credit card before, ever. It’s so streamlined and simple, yet it takes them f-o-r-e-v-e-r. What does wrong? [/quote]

Every single card reader is different. Every one. [/quote]
I had this thought today. I was in a market where there were different vendors, and even in the same building there were two different readers.

I want to use tap-to-pay, but it's always a hunt to figure out where to tap.[/quote]

I’ll take the whack a mole tap hunt over slow as molasses chip readers (and their beep to remove which im sure tortures the cashiers) and finicky magnetic swipes that work on the 3rd try.

Tapping is such a revolutionary change — I was into it when Apple Pay came out in 2016, and remember hunting for a credit card that offered NFC on the card itself. I don’t carry anything but phone, ID, and one credit card. Who wants to pass around filthy cash?[/quote]
