> "I can't wave it about, I have to stick it in!"

I once went to (erm) insert my card in the reader, and happened to have the card in my hand as I turned the reader round. Bingo! one accidental swipe, which the till lassie followed through on by conditioned reflex. "Sorry, I can't give you cashback." *Grrr*.

.... Herself insisted on a contact-only card, and treats with scorn my suggestion that she get a chain-mail purse for her card, to prevent remote reading of the info. I've yet to tell her that I think they've yet again sent one that does contactless as well.
