@georgetakei True story:
A colleague had got a smart-watch, and answered a telephone call via it…
I commented, "move over Dick Tracey".
To which another (younger) colleague asked: "Who's Dick Tracey?"
Elderly man proceeds to spend 5 minutes trying to remember which phone number his rewards card is using...
@atzanteol @georgetakei He's already pre-signed and dated the check. He has places to be.
@georgetakei Apple: it just works. *tilts head and bats eyes*
@georgetakei And then Elderly Man pays by check.
@kentenmakto @georgetakei …and doesn’t even bring the checkbook out until the total is announced. And then doesn’t have a pen.
This actually happened to me not too long ago.
@bubbajet Nobody in the UK is even issued with a cheque book any more! @kentenmakto @georgetakei
@georgetakei More of this please.
@georgetakei Most of the pos payments made by phone app are the new cheque. I'm old enough to remember when any line in any store came to a halt when the old cheque book came out. A couple of days ago in a 7-11, cust 1 waving her phone over the reader, reenter, reenter, reenter. Followed by a 2nd cust who seemed lost as she starred at her phone app, tap, tap, taptap, reeneter, taptap. Cashier looked oppressed and bemused.
