Has anyone ever looked...

So lately when in lines at stores and waiting for people to pay, I've been noticing more and more of the cards people are using.  Sometimes in my head I say oh that's a nice card, or wait that's a subprime card, and sometimes I say I want that card!!!! Has anyone ever caught themselves doing that????

I always check out people's plastic (or metal) everywhere I go. Habit.

I just don't want them to think I'm trying to get their digits lol.  It's very interesting to see some cards people have on them or in their wallets.

There is very few cards I need in my arsenial, but occasionally I'll see one and just stare at it lol.  I do judge people when their not using their best card at the store as well.

I laugh when I see people use their amex plat cards for EVERYTHING. It's like "how's that 1 point/dollar treating you" I totally understand the card for the benefits, but the rewards are lackluster.

Of course, some of them may have sufficiently fulfilling lives that worrying about cc rewards falls way down their priority list!

I honestly don't look and don't care to know.  I try to keep my form of payment to myself as much as possible.  It's just one of those things I don't think is anybody's business.

Heh, I always check out what cards people are using!!! 

 

Maybe it's just my area, but I feel like I see mostly debit cards nowadays.
