People still use physical cards? I haven’t been carrying any cards at all for so many years now.

There's a transaction limit on tap payments. Sometimes you need to chip or swipe when it's over $250 or something.

Seems like you're Canadian. America doesn't have limits on tap to pay.

It depends on the place. There's a grocery store I go to (in Seattle, WA) that has a $100 limit for mobile payments.
