we don't do swipe anymore :)

Whats going on?

"swipe your card on this fancy technology we don't even use half of while I view your receipt on this Windows 2000 computer"
lunarockstar
I relate so much to this! Got to remember the places that have the chip activated and which haven't complied. hail hydra.
BeagleOfDoom
Haha literally every time I use it this happens
itjusthappens
You chip, tells me to swipe, swipe, tells me to use chip. WTF!?!?!
Ecae
Where I work, chip is for credit only, so if your card can do both and you chip first the machine will freak out and send you into a (1/2)
Ecae
chip/swipe purgatory where neither will work and the only solution is to restart the transaction. It's really fun (2/2)
Denamic
The chip is a thousand times safer than using the magnetic stripe
ThisStatementMightBeFalse
If you insert the chip into the card reader I operate, the whole point of sale crashes...
LurkerOfDarkness
Your company might want to call a tech.
ThisStatementMightBeFalse
Meh. No money to go around...

Well, my lasagna and I are required by law to upvote this, but we're not going to like it
hellotheregovenah
This is so accurate
Golflar
Just tap and go already... Why is it that in the land of the credit card they're so backward in coming forward...
GiveMeTheFifthElementOrGiveMeDeath
In Australia they all expect you to have the tap pay pass.
Thetas
And then when you swipe first, they want you to stick it in.
TurkeyKiller16
This is so true. And when I ask the cashier if it's chip or swipe they look at me like I'm a complete idiot no matter what the answer is!
imwhatyouneverwantedtobe
I have to say "no chip you have to swipe" with literally every customer I cash out where I work.
TheBlueMuppet
Because the screen tells them they can chip when they can't! I'm sorry, dude. Or girl. Person. I'm sorry, person.
imwhatyouneverwantedtobe
No ours just says please swipe but no one fucking reads signs anymore. And its girl lol
TheBlueMuppet
Where do you work? At CVS, they tend to be on it, but the local Walgreens could go either way, and the HEB seems to change by the hour.
imwhatyouneverwantedtobe
Local grocery store called apples. Prices would go up if we got the chip, so we won't.
TheBlueMuppet
Makes sense, I suppose. Though at my work (factory) they use that excuse for why we don't have direct deposit.
littlemirrorsatourfeet
I haye how the machine screams at you to take your card out
AidenLeftHome
Because in a year or two people will start leaving them behind.
Grubenwolf
"card please...thank you, please wait.........GIT THIS MUTHAFUCKIN CARD OUT OF MY FACE.....thank you"
Spinager
The noise it makes sounds like it would be caused by a declined card.
loganthegardener
Sounds like when everyone overbids on The Price is Right.
LazerSpacePirate
At Walmart it doesn't print the receipt without taking it out. People still try to walk away from them. Also this looks like a gmls
OSCgal
Huh. So far all the chip readers I've used have made a fairly pleasant tone. Not as bad as ATMs telling you to remove your card.
Th4tDumpster
The alarm that blasts telling you to remove your card sounds just like a "declined" noise...which is always a possibility.
Nalianna
Having worked in retail, it's astonishing how many people don't know how to use an EftPos card 2 in 3 people swipe when insertion is needed.
ElegantKitty
Well the chip is MUCH better and secure, I just cannot fathom why we're so behind in using it.
TyberosTheRedWake
That's how it is where I work. We're waiting for all locations to get new card readers allegedly before we activate them, but I just (1)
TyberosTheRedWake
Think our CEO hates the chip readers and never will activate them since we've had ours installed since February. (2)
scarygibberish
Look at the screen beforehand- if it says "swipe or insert" then they are set up for chip cards. If it just says "swipe," then they aren't
scarygibberish
At least in my experience, this has been true
Nalianna
Your first mistake, was assuming people will read.
OSCgal
You'd think it would work that way, but there's always that ONE machine...
TheBlueMuppet
Yeah, but the chip side has to be set up differently with their bank, half the time it doesn't even work/work yet.
copingcabana
Chip and sign is fucking ridiculous
BananaParagon
As a cashier, please stop being idiots about the chip. Use your goddamn eyes instead of asking me every time. Leave it in until it's done.
WoestynKat
At long last. America joins the new world order...

This is the first that I'm up voting because I like it and not because it's the 29th
whycantisigninwithmyotherusernamethisisstupid
And yet, while in Europe, they look at you like you are crazy if you don't have a chip...I actually had to show some how to slide a card
dess2fois
Swipe or Pin in 2016 LUL
Suiagg
I've never heard of swiping a card, it'd either chip or occasionally contact less
findlesticks
We used to swipe in the UK, about ten years ago
yesthisisdoggo
Pretty much everywhere about ten years ago I believe
themerman
Not just Europe, most countries except USA. I live in Kuwait and can't recall the last time I swiped
pizzapowers
Because chip and pin is secure and swiping is absolutely not
ABillionDucks
Because we call them fries.
shorr
I actually swipe card! It's my store bonus card, no payment so no chip. Should update to contactless though
mmmArdbeg
Chip chip chip. Huzzzah!
Axiim
Europe has been chipped for years now, I remember my parents having to get chip cards ages ago (we live in the US, go abroad a lot)
whycantisigninwithmyotherusernamethisisstupid
I know they've had it for a bit...my bank is just now converting. It's been an annoyingly long wait
fen4
Are americans legit just getting these now? Do you have tap and go?
Tsurusennin
This is people who still use cheques. Maybe in 20 years or so.
DontcallmeLen
Chips? What is this, 2005? Waving is the future.
TDPEquinox
It's America.
Manorexia
There were a lot of security issues with "waving" so most issuers got rid of it on their cards since it couldn't be turned off on cards
TDPEquinox
It's standard in canada.
BiteTheHandsThatThieve
Yeah fuck that. Unless i have one of those wallets that block the signal i am not going to broadcast my measly funds for everyone to take.
Manorexia
The wallets are far from perfect. I had cards strong enough to go through. Also they improved security by using a token instead of the card#

teakdecks
Have you ever heard of online shopping though? If someone has your physical card it doesn't matter if it's contactless or not
[deleted]

LurkerOfDarkness
Yeah for a short while because no matter what, when you hit a certain total (800 DKK in dk) you need the pin regardless, also banks (1/2)
LurkerOfDarkness
Carry the risk as long as you weren't careless (2/2)
