Ate lunch at Applebee's Sunday and encountered my first chip-enabled pay-at-the-table machine. It looked very shiny and new. I swiped my card since the one I pulled out of my wallet is the only one of 5 that doesn't have a chip. It's going to take me a while to get used to having receipts sent to my email but I think I'll end up preferring it. No more pocket full of crumpled charge slips.
