Surprised they still don't have those carbon forms with the imprint contraptions.
In some cases they are, but in most cases they cost the same amount to the merchant. Mostly it has to do with the fact that the merchant is using outdated software for their registers, hopefully this will all change when the merchant has to upgrade to new software anyways to enable EMV.
