Every place I've gone to with Square has let me use my debit card and given me the ipad/ipod/iphone to swipe myself.

I don't believe that. Can you list 3 or 4 Square merchants that let you swipe yourself?

I own a jewelry store and we let customers self checkout. The Square Register swivels around for the customer to review, sign and print. We've had zero pushback across the board.

The Lab cafe in Ann Arbor is the only one I can remember by name but I've never had to hand my card over.

What in the world is the big deal with handing cards over anyways?
