Why don't these exist in the movie/tv universe? How the fuck does anybody buy anything?

is that supposed to be a good thing

its more cinematic to have a character throw money on a counter you DENSE retard

It depends, but there are ones that have multi languages, french, spanish, hindu, urdu and etc

I forgot almost mandarin and cantonese

>Why don't these exist in the movie/tv universe? How the fuck does anybody buy anything?

Do they even exist in the United States of America? America is 10 years behind, debit card payment wise

Holy fuck this flew right over my head in every movie. Was this an actual thing people did? When air conditioners came out were people so proud of them they needed to show off that the strange white box was doing something?

Don't you Americans have tap and go?

Based capitalism

>sorry this card is invalid I will just have to destroy it

>Inserting or sliding a card
In Europe we have contactless card payment almost everywhere, although in Germany for some reason people still prefer cash

>mfw I get a "destroy card" order from the cash register

it's a good thing she was only a 6/10 otherwise my spaghett would have been all over the place

It's been over a year now, fuck it. Now they'll never be able to track my monthly hot pocket intake.

In Toronto everyone has been paying for everything by contactless for the past 5-6 years. Cards, phones, android and apple watches, assorted devices with NFC capabilities. Lived in shithole Spokane for a year and they couldnt even fathom what I was talking about when I tried to explain it.

i can't tell what board that's supposed to be

its only ever been a movie thing in order to show the vent was actually working.

user...I...holy shit

I've had someone buy something from me using a sub dermal chip before.
Weird fucker.

hahaha what the fuck

I just stare at the screen. its only a few seconds.

never gonna make it

Lol wtf this is not true at all

it is though. no retailers want to pay extra for an extra feature most people won't use, card issuers are stingy, and there are multiple companies making card readers.

Samsung pay, apple pay, Google pay all do not work. I've never been able to use it and every cashier I ask say nobody has ever gotten it to work. Every time I try the cashier rolls their eyes and say, it doesn't work. Nobody I know has ever gotten it to work.

I want to scream every time someone says they wish a giant corporate entity had more influence, control, and ability to monitor your spending.

but I want to scream at most things. the urge is always right there, just under the skin.

OH NO NO NO NO

>film him instead of just walking over and helping him
why are people so fucking rude now m8s

why were they filming?

they all use cash

because an angry retard was having a spazout over not being able to pay for his sơyshake

that would be mansplaining and therefore racist

change given could lead to a scene between those character or some kind of cinematic exposition from the interaction

they were filming because he was a nonce, and was being hunted.

What does that have to do with anything I said,
Jesus christ take your meds and never fucking go in public or I'll probably kill you for being such a weird spergy piece of shit.

>praises [corp] pay
>fuck [corp] pay
>dude wtf don't @ me

How do you not forget to breathe?

Wow, I didn't think people could be this retarded.
>The absolute state of this site

You want [corp] pay to work. fuck you.

Ever noticed that nobody in movies and tv-shows ever says "okay, goodbye" on phones? After the important things have been said, they straight hang up.

How the fuck are you still alive being this retarded?

Use Samsung pay. It just works

ah, quickly googled and thankfully I'm not the only one to notice this

There is literally never not a thread in the catalog complaining about common movie tropes.

>refuses my money and watches me go through the process of a self checkout machine so that i can get 1p change that i don't want
this is why skynet wins

jesus christ do americans really?
we have everything contactless here in eastern europe
i though america was supposed to be advanced country kek

lmao

American here. Correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t credit cards less common in Europe? Americans have a whole range of cards they use to buy stuff.

everyone has debit card
you pay with the money you actually have

Am I the only one who doesn't think this is weird? I honestly don't see anything wrong with any of those. I hang up all the time after saying "alright" "got it" or something similar all the time, no goodbye necessary, especially at work.
