There is a card-reading method places like clubs are using now for things like facility-use fees, which uses an electronic reader and virtual keys.. (The latter requiring you use either a suitable stylus or you having fingers of Barbie-doll proportions).
Not infallible though as I found this morning. It declined my card twice. So I need traipse into town to pay by Bank Transfer. At least our town is lucky in having some bank branches still open!
Fortunately the car itself still works, as I found shortly after when I ordered a cafe lunch. I had enough cash but the shop was out of change!
All this electronickery is all well and good if and when it works. If it doesn't, as its enthusiasts fail to realise can happen, it is an embarrasing, inconvenient waste of space and electricity.
