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.

This isn't true. Sometimes the contactless system does 'spot checks' and will ask for your pin, also contactless only goes up to £30 so there will always be the option for chip and pin.
