Or, "YOU CAN TAKE YOUR CARD OUT NOW" from the cashier 0.05 seconds after the message pops up. Yeah, I got it.

A lot of Oregon places changed the noise to something pleasant.

Omg... the dings... so many dings. High dings, low dings, fast dings, slow dings.

Less annoying then forgetting your card.....

“Wait, did I do something wrong?”
machstormer
I know it's annoying, but you'd be surprised by how many people leave their cards behind even with that loud beeping/buzzing noise.

l wish it didn't say "Do not remove card" and instead said "Leave card in" or somethin. Looking down and seeing "Remove card" l sometimes do

I pay with my phone now it's faster.

*Inserts chip. "Swipe, sir." *Swipes. "Does your card have a chip, sir?"

This was somebody's tweet, this bothers me.

Worst beta test ever
Justadudelivinglife
There's a market nearby that has a reader called Index. You can insert before the items are rung up. It processes when complete. No hassle
Justadudelivinglife
Insert and remove before everything is rung up *
bedeicusprime
Am I the only one who thinks using a double negative (Do Not Remove Card) is rediculous. Why not "Leave Card In" or simply "wait"

You're the only one who thinks this is rediculous.

I hate the chip. Apparently it's been around for a while in Canada and Europe but that doesn't mean it's good.
Chazwozza
Canada has had it for like 8 years. NOBODY uses the mag-stripe up here any more. It's so weird when I go to the US, to have to sign.
Cheomesh
We still sign in the US even with chip.
Chazwozza
What a redundant system. We have a PIN with our chip card, no signature required.
Cheomesh
Yeah, credit requires signing (ATM cards / debit cards have always been PIN).Our banks cleverly slid the liability to us (chip) but 1/
Cheomesh
for whatever reason kept the signature approach.2/2
vintageRhino
Can someone explain to me what is more secure about the chip?

Cheomesh
Encryption, basically. The swipe gives account info - raw - to the terminal. Chip does not.
helpusdrzaius
Isn't it essentially that the information passed is encrypted vs plain text?
memerable
When you swipe it send a unique code that cant be duplicated not your acc#, I'm not sure if post was relating to that, at least in my mind
Strostkovy
It's my understanding you tell the card the code and it tells you back yes or no, with a delay.
memerable
No...I swipe ...it generates code....i don't understand all point of this, because if i remove card before it says you can override it
Strostkovy
I looked it up, and if you have it set up for chip and pin the pin number you enter is sent to the card and the card says yes or no
memerable
Well at the end of the day... if we think it is 100% foolproof certainly it's not....so is said.
DinosaursCameFromSpace
More difficult to copy than a magnetic strip but really it should also be a PIN than a signature.
VillainousFiend
In Canada they've had PINS for 20+ years. I find it odd that they adapted chips first in the USA.
drickanderson
We have pins on our debit cards, etc. It's the credit cards that don't use them.
HatsAreEssential
Well, a lot of places (gas pumps, for example) require the billing zip code instead.
drickanderson
The gas pumps here still ask for the pin. They only ask for the zipcode if it's a credit card.
tormady
Wait, you don't have PINs?
DinosaursCameFromSpace
The overwhelming majority are chip & signature - one bank proudly proclaims this is better because you don't have another PIN to remember...
EarlGreyOrDeath
Mine is PIN, and it's the same as if I was just swiping.
DavidBrooker
There are consumers in Canada and Europe who have never experienced swiping cards. How the USA is struggling so hard is confusing.
DavidBrooker
Like, every aspect of this, from the beep chime to making the transaction run faster, has already been figured out.
ballsohard2202
As an American, I really don't understand why it's such a big deal.
TheSwedishCryptid
UK now have just a pure scanner, so you don't even need to swipe the card, you just need to lay it quickly on the thing and then use the PIN
YouFailMeYetAgainStarscream
You don't even use the pin most times, it asks for it on random occasions
TheSwedishCryptid
Doesn't it also do it for larger sums or is that just happenstance ?
YouFailMeYetAgainStarscream
It's just random, a lot of stores don't even get any checks, only place I've had it happen was at the co-op
TheSwedishCryptid
I've only been living here for 4 weeks now, so I'm a bit new to the stuff. So I'd hope there were some sort of protection.
