My friend just sent this to me after seeing it at a Whole Foods in California:

With how easy it already is to tap a card, why would anybody sign up to use this for payment? It's mind boggling to me.

Screw just your finger prints, Amazon already has access to that database thanks to the 5-0, so they now want to know every line on your hand! Best at least give people palm readings after the sign up! /s

LMFAO.

Its not just the privacy issue. I DO NOT WANT TO TOUCH THAT DIRTY SENSOR. Think of all the GERMS that was smeared on the sensor by every hand that touched it 🤮.

Tap to pay is the way to go (like every card has it these days)

you don't touch it at all, you hold your hand above it

Oh fuck how did the sensors get so good? What's next, retinal scans from a camera 10 feet away? Electron microscopes analysing your DNA done by CCTV cameras?

(Okay maybe I'm exaggerating, but you get the point 😅)
