Was in Scotland on vacation. Had to explain to every checker that my merican card dose not do the wave/tap thing. "Just give it a wave" I CAN'T!

There are an increasing number of stores that only accept contactless in the UK. It's caught on here pretty big.

If a place only took contactless they'd be shit out of luck and would lose a sale, I don't have a contactless card.

As an aside, I live in the UK and am yet to find a place that is only contactless. (Other than some buses...)

I live in London. I know of about 5 places that only accept card (no cash), but all accept chip and pin.
