Good point. Not only do I still have cards with mag stripes, I still have some with embossed numbers. And probably half of the people with credit cards are younger than the date when that was obsoleted.
A hotel I stayed at actually made an impression from my card in... I'm going to say maybe 2015 (I'm pretty sure this is before Trump, but it's after Marvel started re-publishing Miracleman). Hotel somewhere in the middle of Nottingham. Room nice enough, but no actual card machine.
There’s a pizza joint down the street from me that was still using one when the pandemic started. I would call them to order and they’d show up with the impression machine. I couldn’t use my Apple Card to pay with them.
