The till receipt is sometimes separate, but these days they're usually the same so it takes no longer than a normal transaction.<br /><br />Many companies (like taxis and pizza delivery) are adding mobile EFTPOS so you can pay for anything, anywhere with a cash card. The next big thing, though, is paying by mobile phone, but that's another subject altogether.Arthur Schenckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10568299067544221996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34249799.post-64848698540566030942007-01-17T07:37:00.000+13:002007-01-17T07:37:00.000+13:00They had a similar thing when I was living in Denm...They had a similar thing when I was living in Denmark..the Dankart. Swipe, pin and thats it. It was actually quicker than using cash and the black and red terminals were everywhere. <br />They have tried the same thing in the UK, but the terminals are flimsy, they take forever, and you still have to wait for a receipt.Evil Europeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08339049760420588052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34249799.post-54590641322924919382007-01-15T11:48:00.000+13:002007-01-15T11:48:00.000+13:00I almost never carry cash anymore, and I haven't w...I almost never carry cash anymore, and I haven't written a cheque in a long time, either. Electronic transactions are much more convenient than carrying money.<br /><br />When I first arrived in NZ, I often saw people paying for groceries or whatever with cheques. But I can't remember the last time I saw someone use one in a store--it'd have to be years ago, I think.Arthur Schenckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10568299067544221996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34249799.post-33655819810221210122007-01-15T05:28:00.000+13:002007-01-15T05:28:00.000+13:00In France we have the PIN code Visa, Mastercard an...In France we have the PIN code Visa, Mastercard and bank cards. I use mine all the time!<br /><br />It always amazes me, however, how many French cling to their checkbooks and use checks to pay for everything, including dinner out.lost in francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08133448605980627117noreply@blogger.com
