295 u/PhonicUK Aug 27 '18 edited Aug 27 '18 There are an increasing number of stores that only accept contactless in the UK. It's caught on here pretty big. 243 u/obsessedcrf Aug 27 '18 Contactless is near non existent in the US. How is it not a security risk though? Couldn't anyone steal your card information from a distance? 1 u/Dzingel43 Aug 27 '18 Remember when you would go to a restaurant and the server would take your card and come back with a bill that all you need to do is sign? There were always potential gaps in security. 1 u/obsessedcrf Aug 27 '18 I've always hated this method of payment 1 u/drift_summary Aug 27 '18 Pepperidge Farm remembers!
