People said that of Chip and Pin.



The banks still issue signature cards, eg to disabled clients who request
them.

And of course there are the foreigners.

I noticed that supermarket self-checkouts allow for the possibility.

Yes, including when they can't read a chip and pin card. Swiping and
signing is nearly always an option at most card readers.

The only time I tried they refused point blank. But then I didn't have a
reason other than "I'd like to have at least one non C&P card".

And of course there are the foreigners.

That's so they can continue to trade if the POS system is down.
