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)

        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 😅)
