Credit card rollers...I remember seeing these at the checkouts at Kmart, Montgomery Wards, Sears, and the other places my mom would drag me shopping as a kid.

Nah...still around.
Last week my local Guitar Center's computer system was down so they pulled out paper receipts and the credit card imprinter. (Wasn't it nice they didn't say anything in advance of my shopping?)

It "only" took about 25 minutes to give them my $60.

Same with our local hardware store, for when we have our annual waterfall storm blackouts. But only takes a minute to use it.
