Has anyone ever looked...

I try not to look like im looking but love to see what people are paying with. I work in downtown Chicago, I frequent 7-11 daily for this and that. As one could imagine, every type of person is in line with u at some point.

A lot of people use debit cards, second a lot of foreigners from out of town use Citibank MasterCard’s. 

I also see a lot of Chase southwest visas, occasionally boa better balance rewards, and rarely ever American express.

I use SallieMae MC because 7-11 is treated as a grocery store category wise. But ya, some people don't have time to notice or write posts like this.

oh my gosh   I've TOTALLY done that.....lol and I'd say I get card envy 1 out of every 10 cards (i.e. "thee Centurion card" , US Bank Cash + , Chase Sapphire Preferred, etc.....)

I work at a store and i see cards all day for payments, most people have cap1, a few of my customers have CSP and there are a couple that have AMEX (although we dont accept it here)

I also work in retail, and notice that debit outweighs credit by a long shot. I do agree the younger generation (including the employees I work with) seem to lean more towards full-time debit usage, and the older generation pays with cash and even by check (which we don't accept, and they tend to get very angry). I also see banks decline customer purchases when it's a large debit transaction all the time. They have to call their bank to remove the "potential fraud block" for "your protection". It can get a little annoying because the first thing the customer does when it's declined is freak out and say "What?! I have $40,000 in this account!".

I have however seen a few nice eye catching credit cards from customers.
