Using your phone to pay is convenient, but it can also mean you spend more - eviltoast

    I double click my power button and Apple Pay is there. Way more convenient for me than to pull my wallet out of my purse, pull my card out, wave or insert it, put it back in the wallet, and put the wallet back in my purse.

    It’s not for everyone, but I definitely find it more convenient.

      I guess “It’s not for everyone” is the real takeaway here. I’m not a phone guy in general, but I’ve been using cards since BK was still selling 99¢ Whoppers. I’m guessing both of us are ready to pay before the cashier has our order rung up.

      To each their own. (I’m finally admitting that I’m fighting a losing battle on writing checks though.)
