pls no more punchlines in the title!
They had been saying this over at that other site for like 13 years before I left.
I’m sure it’ll work out here though.
If I browsed these types of joke-sharing communities more often, I'd petition community mods to create a rule against it. I don't think that's too harsh.
Haha yeah my first reaction was wtf are we back to this now?
I keep 3 forms of payment on me for this reason. Phone, card, cash, in that order.
Edit: Within 30 minutes of making this comment, I was at a Walmart. No NFC payment. The machine didn't like my card. Now I have 2 quarters and a penny in my pocket.
The register's down sir, we can only accept payment in the form of interpretive dance convincingly communicating your burning desire for the chosen products.
Tips in the form of jazz hands are always appreciated, but never expected.
no... nfc.... payment??? wtf
is that an American thing or what?That's a Walmart thing. They wanted to compete with Apple over contactless payments thing and Walmart invested in tech that uses QR codes. No one ever partnered with Walmart so they now use their QR payment tech in house.
Sometimes people forget their wallets at home…
Time to deploy the prison wallet
Apple watch owners making up stories to justify their purchase (this is a joke)
How to make people envious of your amazing Apple product: tell them it wouldn't work and caused an inconvenience for everyone.
But if I don't hold up everyone they wouldn't even pay attention to my new watch!
Then everyone clapped?
they just like me fr
This is the perfect level of grumpy old man.
"Why are you suddenly in a rush, sir? Life has clearly already passed you by.
Hey, uh, just between you and me, what was Alexander Hamilton really like?"
Lmao
I was expecting a Back to the Future gif...
I heard the Elderly Man's words in the voice of Kris Kristofferson's Whistler character from the Blade movies.
Terrific call. I definitely heard something similar!
OP's a 21st century digital boy,
He can't get through the line,
With his futuristic toys.
well that is at least a 4 yo joke. know a few apple types that would have the manager make it work with their expensive watch just because. Gpay which works now mostly, didn't work half the time either. I still keep plastic handy. Target now has self-serve reversible checkouts which mostly don't work. gl getting these to take cash. I couldn't get this one to scan 3 items. call attendant, yeah I just left items there and walked out. love/hate tech. gl to future boy
Hurry up slick
Dawdle on your own time, sport
Honestly I wonder how well these PTP payments would work in my home state considering how now one used them and phones are infomas for not working on top of a lot of places being cash only so I can only imagine how few places can even except g pay
Does it even use the mobile data for payment?
The establishment taking payment needs to communicate with their merchant provider (otherwise they'd never get their money), but I'm not sure that the phone does. It's similar to contactless cards, but uses a different floor limit so you don't need to enter a PIN, as it's assumed that if you've unlocked the phone then you're authorised to make payments.
Isn't moble data the stuff your phone uses too communicate like the main reason why people don't use their phones outside in my home state is due to how there's a lot of dead zones where it can't communicate no calls, texts or Internet connection. When travailing the only thing your phone really can do is play angry birds and take pictures because the environment is basically forcing your phone to be on airplane mode
How many different payment methods does the world need? Is this efficiency or just another skimming scam lol
Skimming works because it attacks 1980s technology.
Contactless is much more secure, given an extra 40 years of defending scams.
Thinking of this as "just another attack vector" is laughably ignorant, really.
could give a flying f' about punchline in title. must be a reddit aftertaste
news about shoplifting loses at all time highs. I've forgot a few things in the cart and walked out with them. arrest me. too short staffed to chase down self checkouts. no wonder MBA geniuses. spend a dollar to save a penny
At this point your comments read like some distasteful AI
