hi, and of course this little box will be free? ... not! not too mention another thing to carry around with us. and what would happen if you lost this box? or it developed a fault? or for some reason it wouldn't work and you had a queue of 20 people behind you? you'd have to ask the cashier to help which you can do already for free! in other words, you'd be back to square one anyway, i really don't see why people have a problem with asking for help when it's required!if anything it's easier with chip and pin. no problem with having to ask where the line is, double checking to make sure your in the right place, hoping that the pen works first time and that your signatures readable etc etc. it doesn't matter what technology is developed, or what improvement are made to chip and pin, not everyone will agree with it. i for one aprove of it and it's just a pity it took so long to come about. good riddance to the pen! smile.
