Comment Don't forget! Cards are quicker! (Score 1) 262
Another lie I've seen pushed by the credit card companies is that it's quicker to pay by card than cash. This is an out and out lie, the companies prefer card as it stops the cashiers having to handle cash.
Fair enough, if you buy a tin of beans with a high demonination note, it may take a while, but it's still quicker than some of the card terminals I've had to use.
Also I prefer the whole "Most of my money is kept secret by this number I don't use too often" over "All my money is protected by a number I use everyday".
