Those wanting an item from the machine must sign up for a magnetic card that has a special number.

Just experienced the chip card/magnetic card thing for the first time..

Americans, for their part, are sometimes astonished when using a magnetic card in Europe – provided they can find a retailer willing to accept one in the first place – to watch the clerk scrutinize the card alongside the transaction slip, to check that the signatures match.

It earns fees from the swipe of the magnetic card as well as a commission on the total purchase.

We’re using magnetic card stripes, a technology from the 1960s.
