This one is about the same distance from our digs of yesteryear, but on a tangential path. Nearly - same company, different shop.

In New Zealand we've had eftpos (pretty much the same system but without the 'chip') for over 5 years without any noticeable epedemic of fraud... It's down to usage patterns - that is your eftpos card becomes cash - and if you manage your bank accounts sensibly, you don't allow your life savings to sit in your transaction accout... When your eftpos card goes missing you notice immediately too because you use it all the time, so the chance of someone nicking it and emptying it before you notice is limited... You're probably just as likely to be followed out of the shop for having cash in your wallet... By the way was that the 'One Stop' ? I remember having a run in with those security cameras under very different circumstances some 11 years ago..!
