I can no longer use my credit card in "real" shops because a lot of them now
insist I key in a number that I can never remember. I know I can change it,
but I couldn't be bothered really.
And anyway, since they introduced the cc pin, the onus of responsibility has
been transferred to the customer as opposed to the bank.
Now if anyone uses your card 'illegally', they try (forcefully) to pin the
blame on you for divulging your number. That's what pin means.
The above are just some examples of how unfair they often (try hard to) be.
