See…this is what bugs me about debit cards. I can go to nearly any store with my debit card. Depending on whether I hit the credit button or debit button I have to do one of two things.

  1. If I hit the credit button, I have to sign a little slip of paper verifying my identity…even though it doesn’t get properly verified.
  2. If I hit the debit button, there is no verification whatsoever. I swipe my card through their little machine, put it back in my pocket, get the receipt and walk away without them even seeing my card.

It all seems a little too convenient these days…
