I was in a store not long ago when there was a power outage and they hauled a couple of these out to process sales.

Gun control is not about guns.
I remember those back in the early 50’s when I was a kid. My mother had a “charge-a-plate” from a department store (metal, not plastic) and they used one of those.

Remember one day the device was a little stubborn so with a bunch of extra force I managed to cut the customer's card in half!
First used one in 1963 , part time working in a truck stop, last used one 2007 working a Friends of NRA Dinner. Like a couple said, most new CCs do not have raised text - they probably did that on purpose . I doubt any teenager I know would be able to tell what one is !
If you really want to mess 'em up, give them change such that you get quarters back, LOL
I don't remember ever not getting a bill or a messed up charge from the old paper "kachunk" machine. So I was recently hacked, successfully stopped a $1450 "Go fund me Vacation" and average $200 or more a year of charges I bring home a slip for but never make it to my CC bill. I understand the ease of processing, quicker turnaround of money but there have to be some large losses being passed on to consumers with our current system.

Conditor, nope, but if we had they would have ended up pretty sorry <evil grin>
It been a long time since I last seen one of them. Also things was simple, also compare for how it is now .

I remember using it a long time ago.
Do they even make the forms for it anymore????
I'm sure it would still have to be used if the power goes down.
One time at the store. The electronic card processing was down. I asked if they had a credit card slider as a back up? No and what is that?

My Post Office has a sign saying no debit card or credit card use after 4:15 pm. They are open until 5pm. I've never asked why they, as a government agency, are incapable of processing credit or debit cards past 4:15 PM, when the 90-year old lady who runs the antiques shop across the street processes credit card purchases all the way up to her 5pm close using an Apple Pay app on her phone.
Would probably cause them to have a stroke if they paused to think about just how bad they are.

No one on the register can count change back today. I can figure my change quicker in my head faster than they can get it out of the drawer and say "here" No thank you or how much your change is, just "here". Makes me want to slap 'em silly.
Yes, I knew what the credit card machine was. I first used one in the mid-late 60's when I worked in a D-X station/garage/Dodge dealership.
