I guess "It’s not for everyone" is the real takeaway here. I'm not a phone guy in general, but I've been using cards since BK was still selling 99¢ Whoppers. I'm guessing both of us are ready to pay before the cashier has our order rung up.

To each their own. (I'm finally admitting that I'm fighting a losing battle on writing checks though.)
