This fucking pisses me off. I just wish they'd get this shit working

why do people ever chip or swipe when you can just tap?

THIS BOARD HAS RULES

This chip system is gay as fuck, swiping was superior.

wow by 2017 i'll have almost $1 USD

>people placing their special snowflake card into the machine before I even know if it's credit or debit

Everyone needs to work retail to understand how to buy shit and be reasonable.

Doesn't america have a paypass system?

Saw this on Reddit earlier

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't some places rate employees on how many transactions per unit of time so there's a resistance to adopting the (slower but more secure) chip payment? I've heard Chipotle thrown around as an example.

you'll blow it on gay blowjobs

what

This is from the front page of reddit you faggot. No redditfags allowed, fuck off.

>>>Reddit

This. Is the US a third-world country now?

I actually work as a cashier and I have to deal with this shit ALL the time with customers

It's working, or rather, the chip isn't and we are asking you to swipe instead as inserting won't work. Beside stay. What card doesn't have swipe tap and chip all in one?

And the machines never work, and it's far easier to hack.

check it bro, i sent it already

lelelelelellel i too browse le reddit front page

bush goes in the options for htis thread

These fucking things.

>swiping

I am 30 years old, have had a debit card since 16 and a credit card since 20 and have never swiped.

How backwards is America?

>asking me if it's debit or credit instead of just letting me hit the button

fuck you buddy i don't go to the convenience store to be harassed by the cashier at checkout

Why the fuck don't they have working APPLE PAY OR GOOGLE WALLET WHATEVER THE FUCK ITS CALLED?

Every store either doesn't have a working contactless payment system or they don't have anything beyond that shitty swipe or chip and SIGN (nice security assholes) terminal.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

can you post a pic of your feet

Am I the last person on earth who only uses cash?

I use multi-pass, but I'm a red haired qt 3.14 alien so it's ok

>Leaving the house to shop

I literally go to the office and back home right away. My only sunlight involves walking to my car and my only interaction with people is due to being at the office.

I order everything online and still eat dinner at my parents.

Enjoy your negative interest rate goyim while I stuff my mattress with gold and hard currency

As someone that works at Target
fuck you timewaster

I only accept ethereum.

pun?

>not using paypass or paywave

Why are creditcard systems in the USA so backwards?

This isnt a hurr shartinmart stab at the US, I would really like to know why they're so bound to legacy systems?

I love Target

WEW lad

>not asking if debit or credit

Nobody asks anymore. I think you have to specifically request debit. I like when the pos let's you select debit or credit as an option yourself, but even that seems to be less common for some reason.

We do... it comes almost standard as an application on every smart phone that is sold right now. Load all of your cards into the application and you use NFC on your phone and tap it on the card pad.

Never seen this in my life.

Way back in like 2009 or 2010, I got a debit card on my second checking account which had one of those tap things. The problem was almost no store had a checkout thing that let you use it. People in the US got super paranoid about criminals being able to just swipe your card info by passing some electronic device next to your wallet I guess. I think the tap idea died out here pretty much as soon as it was invented for that reason.

Brit here. It's totally fucking backward when it comes to this. Zero security at all beyond your PIN.

Chip and SIGN is what I have to use for a lot of transactions that even have this "modern" technology. That's where you put the card into the terminal and then sign for it on the terminal screen. You can write anything, no one checks it. I have even written "I am a con man" as a test because I saw it on TV. It worked.

This is why Apple Pay and the like are a big deal here. They have no spending limits and are far more secure than the current garbage.

Yeah anons u r rite America needs the proven leadership of Hillary Clinton this November! Let's get out the vote and show those cucks and say I'M WITH HER

Someone explain why I have to do this chip bullshit now

It takes fucking forever and doesn't work half of the time

>I order everything online

This is only possible on the east coast. You can bet if I could order food and groceries online I would.

It works, yours doesn't because you're broke

i hope youre trolling

if you see the chip reader, insert the chip retard

Why the fuck would any Chipotle employee care about being rated? Fucking Christ. It's bad enough you're working in fast food. Now they are fucking grading people on how well they earn the same minimum wage as every other employee? Fuck that. I would do the absolute minimum. I learned the important lesson that being the guy who puts 100% into a low wage job is absolutely bad for you in every way.

I've literally never once seen it work, I don't use one or work where they are used, just behind people in line but it's been a 100% fail rate from what I've seen.

The banking industry's desperate attempt at security theater.

Swiping is terrible and half of stores don't even ask for my PIN. Chip readers are almost always out of order or blocked off entirely so you can't get your card in there.

>Need to ask ID for cigarettes if you look below the age of 25

Despite all that

It's still not as bad as doing the lottery

How did you know it was front page of reddit unless you were there?

Also
>mfw all these admitted redditors

What? I haven't had to use anything but the chip since 2008 or something. I'm not even sure I still have the magnetic strip, if I do I never use it. Why would store owners tell you not to use the chip?

Half of the time they don't even fucking work

>"oh we ain't got one of those thangz yet, you gotta swipe"

I'm working in a fucking ancient gas station so I have to manually select if it's credit or debit. It's not like I can just guess or the machine knows. But having what you said would be much easier.

>stores asking for your PIN

What sort of jew scam is that? Why would you ever need your PIN outside of a bank?

>wah I don't want to have to put any effort into my job.

No wonder you're a cashier you lazy fuck. You don't deserve a living wage.

Nobody checks the signature because no fraud is reported by you as the card holder. If you report a fraudulent charge made with that card, they would check the signature. Same will happen if you write and actual check to someone and sign it with a fake signature.

>Doesn't america have a paypass system?


we have something way better

half of them don't work. knowing which half is the frustrating part.

Seen two places with inserts in the card slots heavily implying that you should swipe. It was a great idea.

Have you noticed that they perfected the computer -- ergonomics, reliability, portability, security, adblocking, memory, overclocking, script stopping, watching video -- and right then they shunted us onto these garbage smartphones, which patiently went down the list and undid all those accomplishments?

You can buy groceries here online in MD and have it delivered by a company called Peabody. We too fat to leave the house or have crippling anxiety

No

How is this politics related???

kek

That's interesting, paypass started around the same time over here but it's taken off to the point where just about every single store that takes credit cards has a paypass thing built into the card reader - so instead of swiping or inserting you just hold it up against the screen for a couple seconds
shit's super useful

What, and use crack change and expect me to be able to count every dime penny and Nicole you give me and expect me to just "take your word" of how much it is without counting like I haven't been jipped before by dozens of other "customers"

I never complain when they ask for cigarettes. I'm 27 and look 35 and even when I was 18 they didn't card me.

I did have one autistic fatass the other day card me for a fucking lotto ticket. Never in my life have I been carded, and again, I look mid 30s. I just rolled my eyes and gave it to him but comeon...we have bigger issues to fight here.

I once went to a Walmart during a road trip where it told me to insert the chip but there was nowhere to insert it.

Swiping didn't work, and all my cards had chips. I had to pay cash

Your PIN is what you need to type into the card reader in every country in the developed world in order to buy anything. The store doesn't see it.

Peapod fuck autocorrect

>checkout speed: RGRRR
going to send some couponers your way senpai

It's worked for me every time I've used it. Except one time where I pulled it out early because I didn't know you're supposed to leave it in for five fucking minutes.

I was going to laugh but then I remembered who made this so I just scowled instead

Maybe in your third world pawn shop shitholes, but I never had to give my PIN out to any store

Are you shitting me?

America is only now getting chip and pin cards?

>not willing to leave house
>in the state where they based the Wire
>jokes about why
I-it's good that Apartheid and segregation are over. Real good.
[looks into distance]
Real, ... real good.

The chip is fucking stupid. Takes way too long to check out now.

That kind of shit is the reason I hate everything, user.

>they would check the signature
Yeah if the store held onto it. It never even goes to the bank and there isn't some dude analyzing your receipts in a fraud department like people seem to think.

If you stole someone's credit card you could buy whatever you wanted on it and get away with it. Just sign whatever you want.

It isn't any more secure for you, the cardholder, since a fraudulent credit purchase with a regular card can be easily covered by calling your card provider. It's a security measure put in place by the card providers, but what it ACTUALLY does, I have no idea.

It's supposed to cover the provider's ass while wasting more of our time, I suppose.

Nigger, half the readers I've tried don't work.

We have contactless payment, but they are very niche compared to other parts of the word. Contactless is used as a gimmick payment, for phones, or for transit cards.

We're also just adopting chip into mainstream cards, which makes things even more fun for retailers. Walmart sued card networks to negotiate for lower rates for chip & pin.

No we have had them forever

Don't forget that all these things come from America

>when the blue hair in front of you writes a check, "what's the name of this place?"

We have every system, but our country is bigger than your continent, so distribution is somewhat uneven. A centralized, rich, tech-savvy burg like Portland probably has everything. Utah does not.

It's usually on Y... cause fucking people using CASH
I do instocks but they are shorthanded and put me on register. 10.50 an hour is plenty.

>writing checks
>2016

Does ANYONE under the age of 60 do this anymore? I lost my checkbook a long time ago.

Leave your purchasing history & all info with the electronic-currency (Jew) you fucking faggot

Sheeeit another Bucks County lad. First time I've seen one with this Flag Extension plugin.

I hate when it says to remove but they say "NO NO NO DON'T REMOVE " and I'm stuck doing the fucking thing all over again

>supporting places that still take checks
You deserve to live in your ghetto shithole.

I started using mostly cash again it's better and keeps your mind sharp. I don't have to check for card skimmers among other things as often it's great.

You don't say out loud: MY PIN IS....

The entire point of the number pad on the card reader is to type in your PIN when it communicates with the card company and transfers your money. They don't see your PIN.

>insert chip
>it doesnt work
>slam your fist and swear under your breath as you swipe your card instead

just what is so damn frustrating about it you autists. dont you have enough shit to be actually pissed with rather than having to take 2 extra seconds when you buy your cheeseburger

...

...

In Central/South America, the way delivery works is they come take your card and then go get your stuff and come back. So the delivery people were taking tourist's cards and cloning them.

Not to mention the machines at the supermarkets that can clone them

See you just again showed lottery attracts the most autistic people. I had a co worker last week get fined 400 because some 17 year old wanted to play lottery. Fuck off with your eye rolling if you get carded because you have a baby face alright?
