I'd rather not deal with any inconvenience at all. In a dream world I don't have to swipe/touch/anything, Starbucks just knows who I am and charges the total based on my phone being in my pocket or something.
I don't care how, I just want to get the paying part done in the least possible effort. I'm lazy. At this point I get mighty vexed when I can't just touch my card and have to actually put in a pin number.

- hwatson 12y agoSquare Wallet[0] used to implement something similar to what you're describing. It used your phone's GPS to register you as near/inside a store and merchants selected you based on a photo you provided. It was pulled in May[1] in favour of Square Order.
