Certainly no more hindrance to the line behind than the old days when someone would slowly fumble for a checkbook AFTER the sales were trying up.
True, but let's just say I have a limited tolerance for getting dirty looks from impatient peeps in the lineup. Not all Canadians are "polite." I've seen a guy yell at the grocery clerk because they had to do a price check.
This is why if they offer ApplePay I would hope they put the little Sticker indicating it like Subway does.
2 days ago was paying by normal debit card and while I was doing that, I asked if they had Apple Pay, and she didn't know, so I showed the clerk what it looks like on the iPhone. The debit "timed out" and I THOUGHT I had completed the process. Had to do it again.
I never do price checks either, I will buy the item even if I know there is a discount I did not get, then I will take it to the Service counter and have them rectify it so as not to make people wait in the lineup.
If there is no lineup then I will try ApplePay.
