That must have been before they came to Canada. I do remember Master Charge changing to MasterCard. And I've used those card machines.

I guess I'm still old school. I pay for almost everything by check. Gas, groceries, bills almost everything. Small town makes that easier. Occasionally I shop out of town, I use cash. I do use my debit card at the ATM.

I suppose I am a dinosaur.

Longhorn!

Oh wait. You're talking about Visa not Vista.

I remember collecting used soda bottles and selling them for 3 cents each to buy penny candy (Mary Jane’s) and 5 cent Snickers bars.

I wish I could. But I don't live in a small town (I don't live in a town at all, but that doesn't matter). Walmart would throw a fit. We have no cashiered checkouts left - it's all self checkout. I do pay all bills that come in the mail with checks though!

The Walmart nearest me still has some human cashiers. The line is always longer here. Not as many use the self check outs. I do not as I feel like they take someone's job.
They still take personal checks here.

Visa Evolved out of BankAmericard, which was Bank of America's original credit card started in 1958. It has always been Visa since it was rebranded from BankAmericard. In 1970 BofA spun it off and relinquished full control and it became the consortium banking entity it is today.

I refuse to use the self checkouts for this very reason.
