Cash Is Still King (sometimes)

[LogDog75]

5. I remember manually taking credit cards

I worked at K-Mart in the early 70s when credit card sales were done on carbon slip and you had to put the credit card in a slot, the carbon slip on top of the credit card, and the push the imprinter to the right to get the credit card information printed on the slip. I wonder how many people working cash registers today know how to do this.

One of the reasons I keep enough cash in a home safe is in case there is a blackout, the internet is down, or the credit card company's program is down.
