Buying a loaf of bread at the grocer I get in the "10 Items of Less" line. There is a bit of a queue but how long can it take for 5 people to buy a trifling number of items?
A long time.
Why?
Because they all pay by convenient interac. Well, convenient for them I suppose but the swiping and waiting for connection and signing and paperwork ain't fast; and all for what? a $5.00 purchase?
Surely people can carry petty cash?
Do we need documentary records of when we buy candy bars?
Crazy!!!

I had a similar experience. I was queued up in the "8 items or less" line in a busy grocery store after a long day at work. I was holding my 15-month old daughter in one arm, and the 2 items I was purchasing in the other. She was getting squirmy and wanted down. I had my $5 bill in hand, ready to pay and get out asap. When I was about 3rd back in line, I heard the cashier yell out "credit and debit only in this line". Amazing!! Forced to used debit for a $3.27 purchase!
Its Interac, not "Interact"
No 'T' on the end
They get really sensitive about that
