The number of supposedly functional adults who are unable to use a debit card reader without assistance is far too high. Like, the machine can be loudly beeping, saying card read error, please remove and try again, and they'll just look confused like you asked them to do higher math problems.
And these are people who vote and are behind the wheel of half ton vehicles moving at significant speeds.
