I think I just have too many other things on my head rather than remembering to take my card with me :).
Lol, about your story.
Anna :)

I will write you soon.

I’ve only lost one card. I’m pretty anal about putting mine away after I use it. But yesterday in the hotel, the clerk gave me my room key and I immediately misplaced it within five seconds of her handing it to me. She had to make me another. I eventually found it in a pocket I don’t normally use.

I finally managed to drop by this blog and I must say that I like it!
So, it is usual to lose one’s credit card, eh? It never happened to me so I can’t comment much on it. Nevertheless, I loved your post on it.

I will add this blog to my culture blogroll :D.
Big hug to you and long live Living in Aurora!

Cheers

You know I don’t know, because when we go to Tim Horton’s sometimes we swipe and sometimes we tap. May be like you said, it is the store policy. Or depends on the card.
I did not want to mention the store name, just in case someone gets an idea to pick up some credit cards and have fun. I also thought may be I should write them a quick note about their lame security procedures.
My first chip technology credit card did not even require code, all I had to do is punch anything and it worked. How stupid? Especially when it was a new card because other one was hacked.
Well, with every new technology there will be pros and cons, and probably more cones at the beginning.
Thanks again,
Anna :)

You’re correct the requirement to remove the card from your hand as a component of the transaction is a UX design fail. I suppose the radio frequency card technology will claim that the wave and pay method will resolve this issue, but so would the stripe. Interestingly enough I find some retailers, like Shoppers instruct card users to swipe not insert chip, so I wonder if this is a store policy or a technical issue.
