    Where I live, 90% of places have a working tap to pay, but 10% still need that chip to be entered.

      Annoyingly, the convenience store chain (part of Circle K) that I buy snacks at, tap to pay only works for credit cards not debit cards.

        Good ? Never use debit cards. They aren’t subject to the same fraud protections…

        Why the fuck anyone would think giving anyone direct access to their banking account is a good idea. Sheesh.

          Not sure why down votes, this is financial security 101. Some debit cards have gotten with the program but… Still cringe. I do keep one on me but it’s a free account I keep a bit of cash in, not where direct deposit goes to.

            It’s almost cult like, some people’s “attachment” to debit cards. I’ve been called all sorts of things for pointing out how BAD it is to use them for everyday transactions.
