I know right? This would have been an electronic bank transfer here int he UK and I'm sure across Europe.

I can't remember the last time I used a cheque. Maybe 10 or even 15 years ago? Even that was a random one off. I don't even have a cheque book and would have to ask the bank especially if I wanted one.

When I was last in California they still had the machine to take an imprint of your card’s numbers in restaurants. Had to check my phone to see what century I was in!

That said, there’s an eccentric car hire guy near here who still uses the machine. But then he has Elvis memorabilia all over his office.

Funny, most credit cards in the last ~5 years don't even have raised numbers anymore... Knuckle buster won't do any good.

I was at a Walgreens in California a few years ago and handed my card to the cashier. She stuck it in the machine, looked at it funny, the swiped it. Said she had to swipe it because it asked for a pin. She didn't know that chip & pin is a thing.

I also had to sign a reciept when I used tap at a gas station in North Dakota. Stange place, the USA.

That's literally how it works in the US.

Last time I saw one was likely more than 20 years ago.
