Adding to that: do people use physical cards? (except older generation) I don't remember when I last saw a person not taping with phone or watch.

- JohnTHaller 4y agoLots of smaller stores have readers where either the tap or the chip is broken. I just went to one today and took out my card to insert the chip instead of using Google Pay.
- krzyk 4y agoWow it never happened to me, then the reader is broken no cards worked one time it was and by a pure chance I had cash (which I don't carry normally).
- JohnTHaller 4y agoOne of the shops near me can only do tap reading on their reader as the chip isn't working. My debit card only has chip, no tap. But I can pay with Google Pay via my phone. The CVS near me the tap readers in the pharmacy don't work. But the chip readers do.
