Square Is Now Ringing Up Payments
Square scares me...
... I am assuming that it is just a matter of time before someone reverse engineers the interface used by the Square scanner and writes an app for your local waitress or cashier to steal credit card information.
I have already had my credit card stolen twice by waiters-- one who was copying down all corporate Amex cards he handled, another who rang up $500 in convenience store charges on my personal card before I was able to cancel it. Only the former was caught, because his manager caught on to what he was doing.
Square is a good idea, poorly executed.

Another blow to banking
This could be another income blow to banking. The device seems so simple yet effective. Perhaps a little consumer concern at first but this could be huge!!

The credit card companies/banks are still making money with the fees and interest on the credit cards
