Rubbish. I can count out and hand over the cash, get the change, and
confirm that it's the correct change, in less time than it takes the
store's machine just to confirm that a credit card is good, never mind
the time taken up by button-pushing or signing.

So why exactly are stores *desperately* pushing electronic payment, even
for small amounts? Could it be that they have better data on the average
time cost of a cash versus a plastic transaction, oh most knowledgeable
one?
