yeah not sure if its a us thing or a midwest thing but you hand your card to the person who swipes/taps it.
It is a US thing, and it's a thing European tourists are weirded out over.
would love if it was not. dont see hwy it cant just be accesible at the window.
It's funny because where I live there were even warnings to never give your card to the cashier back when they weren't so popular. It was precisely because of some rare cases of cashiers managing to clone or charge the card during that moment. I, and most people I know, wouldn't just hand in their card if asked. It just doesn't happen here.
