Signing no, but inserting the card and entering pin is a commonplace in europe, the whole payment takes maybe 20 seconds. This is how everybody pays in malls whenever I visit (france, switzerland).

Contactless payments - no thank you, I like to have some control over my cash flows.

The mix of both is by far the best - have cash when you need it, have a card when you need it. Why can't people understand that not everybody thinks/behaves/lives same as they do?



I don’t think contactless is uncontrolled - you see the total before you present the card so they can only take that amount.


Plus, I get an instant notification on my phone whenever my card is used. And if I see anything suspicious, I can freeze the card via the app (declining all further payments).
