I live out in the woods near a small town. I don’t spend much time in “the big city” which puts me behind on many current trends in the “real” world.

While I have seen the “tap here” or Apple Pay symbol in a lot of stores I had never seen anyone use it in my local area. In London I saw it used a number of times – the person tapped their phone on the small portable POS terminals that were in every bar or restaurant I visited...
