Is that in the US? Europe hasn't used the magnetic strip on cards for years. It's all chip based and those payment terminals all take NFC / Apple Pay.

It would be suicide for a shop not to take it, I know many people that don't carry their bank card at all. Only their phone for Apple pay.

Fun fact: In China, most people don't carry a wallet anymore. It's all on the phone.
You don’t have to go to China. I live and work in the UK and use Apple Pay for everything. I haven’t carried a wallet in years.
