    Where would we be without credit cards? Yet, when we opened up our bookstore, nearly 27 years ago, we didn’t even have credit cards.

    Have any of you noticed that the new credit cards now have chips in them? I was curious about that, so I did some research and found out they are supposedly safer than the ones we simply swipe.
