Thanks -- I have a iPhone but don't use Apple Pay. No way do I want to connect my phone to my bank account, and in any other respect I have not been able to imagine how it's better than a credit card.

I've seen people fiddling with their phones trying to pay for stuff, reminds me of the days when you'd get behind someone trying to write out a check.

Wholeheartedly agree. There's nothing about paying for something at a point of sale that needs fixing with additional technology.



I guess it’s a matter of perspective.

I’ve seen people fiddling with their purse/wallet searching for the right credit card, backing up the checkout line, while others breeze through with phones/watches that they already have in hand.


Lolol, my experience with my Target card where I have to unlock my password manager, autofill my creds and scan a barcode, sounds just like the same kind of fumbling.

Assigning Google Pay to my double press shortcut on my wake button is way less effort.


I guess, if it works for you. I don't even take my phone with me half the time if I'm just running to get milk and eggs.
