"waiting in line", "Choose a carrier" and "store forgets to return passport"?
You might as well add "having to breathe" and "tapping your debit card" to this list of hardhsips. This list is really quite laughable.
In many parts of the world you can get a SIM at a 24 hour convenience store and without a passport. And once you have the SIM you can almost always top them up on line. I think most people would consider the 5 minute time investment to be a fair tradeoff for working internet on their phone.
