Manual credit card machines have existed long before electronic ones.

That's just absurd. Who the hell has one anymore? Not to mention they require the card to be embossed and not all are anymore.

You can literally write down the number on a piece of paper and a price and let the bank know or enter it manually when the power goes back on. This simply isn't a problem unless society collapses and if that happens, cash will be worthless too.

I've worked in multiple retail stores and not a single one of them would do that. If the power went out, they lock the door. So that absolutely doesn't work in the short term.

Long term? Idk, how long can you hold out w/o spending money?
