My bank forces me to re-insert my card (or tap) for every transaction. Pay CC - insert card, enter pin, move the money to the CC, machine gives a receipt (or emails it) then the machine spins out the card. If I want cash I have put the card back in. I asked the teller today about why this is happening, they are as shocked as I.

    People used to leave their cards in the machines all the time. When it was the mechanical “jaws” or whatever the bank could capture the card and keep it safe. Now that they are nearly all “swipe” style that might lock the card a little, they keep you safe by making you take it back after every transaction.
