Interestingly in a bit of a turn of events, I had my card swiped at a restaurant here in the UK this evening lol The chip reader was broken. He did say it was a pain as about 15% of the transactions were being referred lol.
Being referred? Not sure what that means.
And Boots is no longer a British national company. They're American now, actually (part of Walgreens, which oddly enough means their cosmetics products are no longer sold here - Target USED to sell Boots products).
