My experience in whether or not it is faster or slower varies upon the vendor. Personally, from working fast food, as long as you weren't using exact change, I could get your money out way faster than the credit card machine.

However, grocery stores seem to have a higher quality card machine than fast food so I generally get through much faster than with cash. Just varies. And of course sometimes you have an idiot cashier.

I covered for cashiers a few times, and I fully support this.

Still found people who pay with cash more annoying though. As a person who wasn't ACTUALLY a cashier, my sliding money in and out of slots skills never really got all that advanced so I wasn't very quick with it.

Debit cards were just easy as hell, though. Even for a newbie like me. Push a button. Done.

Fast food card machines suck. Subway seems to have an OK one, but Walmart/Super One/wherever that isn't a restaurant I pay by credit I slide my card, they hit the 'pay by credit button' and I sign something, and it is done.

At restaurants there seems to be a significant lag and they almost always have to type some stuff into their machine and wait for the ticker tape parade. It's vaguely annoying, really.
