“You can pay with your watch”.
Good grief, I hate living in the future.
I don’t care how much my kids calls me an old fart, I don’t think I will ever attach a payment method to a watch.
This is the smallest bill I have, please break it for me.
I refuse to even let my phone have my payment info.
I haven’t bought anything from a vending machine in years. They take tap to pay now?
Hell the little kiddie rides and such do too. Making them non-negotiable if your kid is an emotional terrorist. Mine is too small luckily but I just know her mom is going to permit everything and forbid nothing.
I rarely see the rides in use, but my guess is the permissive parent already gave the kid a tablet and tablets are way more addictive than mall rides
My ex-stepdaughter was the one to always go on those. No iPad or phone in public, but she was used to having constant interactive entertainment soooooo… yeah
ex-stepdaughter
Your what?
My ex-wife’s daughter from a previous relationship. Used to be my stepdaughter, now she’s not. Maybe a weird way to phrase it, I guess.
Her mom never really had much time for her or later, our shared child. So the first one was super spoiled by smart devices from a very early age and the second one… idk, but I’m hoping I’ll do better than her.
I understand now. Wouldn’t she still be your stepdaughter though? Unless you never shared custody over her / never bonded, and she’s an adult now anyway.
Not shared custody because she has a father who now has custody of her 75% of the time. We actually cooperated to get our kids out of the witch’s reach, but unfortunately it’s nearly impossible here to get her to lose custody altogether, even if there’s a hundred reasons. They only remove kids from druggies and people with histories of violent crime.
I used to have this. Then I realised how surveillancy it was and got a dumb watch. I now get my weekly spending budge out in cash and pay with that. Turns out u spend less when ur paying cash.
I rarely see vending machines that have modern payment methods. It’s like finding a unicorn when there’s one that takes a card. Haven’t seen one with tap to pay at all yet. It’s weird how close I am to Silicon Valley, but in many ways feels like its still stuck in the 80s or 90s.
