Breakthrough for PayWave...
[Gee - here is a headline I found today, a few days old but that is probably due to the website being so overloaded as everyone flocks to it to read the news. Here is the headline folks...
Costa Coffee Ties Up With Visa PayWave To Make Your Coffee Experience Quicker
Come on - you know thats a breakthrough in anyone's language. Imagine how we all got on without such a business as Costa Coffee offering PayWave. This is ground breaking news and it will affect so many lives in a truly positive way, perhaps for generations to come! Well NO, not really. In fact Not At All !! How it will make your experience quicker (and seamless) is beyond me. You will pay for your coffee when you make your order, saving maybe 15-20 seconds, and then wait the usual few minutes or more for your coffee. If you don't have one of the latest iPhones that accommodate ApplePay, or other phones that take care of SamsungPay, you could use one of a few tablets that do. HHmm. Does that mean I have to carry a tablet now, 'cos I don't have a new iPhone or only have one of those exploding Galaxy Note 7s ? I would look so sexy carrying my tablet about town and tap'n & go'n everywhere. NOT!
I will stay with my credit card if you don't mind. I'll pay for stuff with my credit card if thats ok with you.
I will continue to support companies, like SmartMetric, that say they are all about making credit cards more resilient, and not yield to the so-called sexy technology that is so limited and flawed - phone apps. Its rubbish.]
