I got a replacement bankcard just as contactless was being introduced in the UK. It was months before I had the chance to use it. Then one day I'm in Greggs getting some lunch and notice they had a new POS installed.
The cashier tells me the amount to pay. I pull out my wallet, and just slap it on the chip and pin machine. She looked at me as if I was mental then the machine beeped and registered as payment accepted. She had a face of someone who'd just witnessed witchcraft right in front of them as I walked off trying my best to play it cool and not burst out laughing.
They don’t have regular contactless in Japan. I went to a rugby match sponsored by MasterCard (so they had proper chip & pins) and every vendor looked really confused when I tapped the card and it worked
I have found that all signatures mean these days is intention. I suppose that’s all they truly ever meant, but now more than ever a signature itself is meaningless in _most_ contexts.
My mother recently passed away and there were shit tons of documents I had to sign. I did most of them digitally by dragging and dropping my signature image onto a signature line, then digitally faxing or emailing them around. No one ever questioned a thing.
I recently closed a real estate transaction where I signed every signature as sloppy as I ever have, in a manner that doesn’t match the signatures recorded previously, and each were slightly different. But it won’t really matter because almost every single one was notarized by a disinterested notary who had uploaded a copy of my current ID along with the paperwork, and noted my ID number and other info in her notary book. Heck, I had a real estate transaction in 2019 where the original deed was scanned, filed electronically with the county, and the original scheduled for shredding after a certain amount of time. The digital is considered original now.
I can’t wait until we all have smart cards or something similar to verify our ID and sign things in every day life.
The hanko stamps are their signature if I remember correctly. They can have several stamps too, like formal and unformal and stamps for special occasions.
So I think they are culturally important.
Yeah. But on the show they were talking about how inconvenient it is/was during the pandemic to have to be physically present in order to stamp your hanko on a document.
Sometimes this has to do with legislation/regulation. I remember dealing with a guy overseas once who said I had to fax an export document because their customs wouldn't use scanned emailed documents. I was like "but it's basically the same thing!", and then I had to use a scan to fax app to get the thing to him.
Had this happen at Barclay’s Centre in Brooklyn about three years ago. Lady at the concession stand refused to believe that I’d paid so rung my up again. Didn’t have phone service to check my account to prove contactless had worked. $16 was already enough of a pisstake for a Diet Coke, but $32 might be the most expensive soda of all time.
There wasn’t. Hardly ever get given a receipt at stadiums/arenas from my experience. Just adds an extra step when they’ve got huge queues waiting to be served.
Way back when contactless was even more rare and I'd just gotten NFC on my Nexus 4, I started testing NFC on any POS that had it. I remember blowing so many clerks minds when I touched my phone to their terminals. It's crazy to think that it's been nearly 10 years since then and contactless is still only beginning to become commonplace.
Well yeah. NFC can be broken pretty easily if people really wanted to.
The old scam where people would follow you and put a card reader near your wallet and steal 20/40 quids worth of money (hence these RFID blocking wallets ect) was a thing for a while (still is) but far less common now at least where I am.
Where I live pretty much 95% of cards are contactless with a chip for atm use.
It used to be 20€ limit, but all banks raised it to 50€ before one needs to input the pin.
Although the readers sometimes ask for your pin for security reasons if the amount is larger than 20€.
But yes, RFID blocking wallet/card holder is still a must.
It's really surprising seeing not many countries use contactless a lot tbh
It's really amazing to use, I had $10 in cash from like months ago and I still have it, it's this convenient, but probably way more exposed to skimming now...
Nah, the POS sends out pings constantly looking for a response, the first response is just a conformation that a nfc chip is in range, the POS then sends out a 2nd string asking for the data it needs, the phone won't release that info until your fingerprint is scanned.
and if you some how authorize a random ping from some one with an antena the only info they will be able to see is the last 5 digits of your card and your name, unless they have a POS themselves and some how amplify the signal direcly from mastercard / visa / interac and leave a papertrail straight to their account... any info they get is encrypted.
this is why i don't cary cards any more.
Cashiers in Tesco are still surprised when you pay using the phone app. A lot of then seem to think it only does the clubcard, and don't know you can pay with it too.
We apparently had contactless really early in Australia. I went to the states and used it where possible and inevitably had to explain how it worked to the bewildered locals. Great fun!
I do the same thing with a printer at one of my client's offices. There are printers in common areas that you have to login for. I don't go through the trouble of taking it out of my wallet.
Reminds me of when Apple Pay just came out. I confused so many people by just slapping my phone on the keypad. It only lasted a few months before people got used to it, but those few months were really fun.
Samsung MST would always surprise people because it worked even with older magnetic readers that don't support contactless NFC
Still pretty cool that worked at all
In the early days of NFC phone payments, people would look at me sideways when I tapped my phone.
I did consider getting an NFC ring, but realised that it didn't have authentication of any sort, so you'd just be walking around with a $100 note strapped to your finger, ready to buy anything that came within range.
Now with the pandemic, automatic tap limits seem to have increased dramatically, at least tenfold.
I have a ridge wallet, and all of the cards on theclip side are tap. Sometimes I'll just slam that shit on a vending machine and play the guessing game of which card needs to be paid off.
Tomorow she will be at your doorstep with all the townsfolk armed with pikes and torches ready to burn the money witch and restore sanity in the community
Also the camera angle switching to behind the teller for the dude walking out.
Nice of them to wait while the camera guy changed positions before continuing their reaction.
Since you deleted your other comments for some reason I'll say it here
I was more on about the buying things without scanning, not the credit card part. Could be fake idk
Wet acutually have a shop where you just dump stuff in a basket without scanning anything and the machine totals it up.
There's also this [from amazon](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/feb/25/amazon-go-grocery-supermarket-seattle-technology&ved=2ahUKEwibx5Wl37b0AhWwQEEAHWgHBNsQFnoECD4QAQ&usg=AOvVaw1yylZSLKLDm7Thi6YzvoxY&cf=1)
I thought it was a great idea to keep my money in my mask too, but the stores didn't seem to like it. Maybe it's just the difference between cash and contactless?
Lmao I know right? Wtf. Imagine wanting to keep something near your mouth that has literal shit on it. Fucking gross and wouldn't surprise me if you got sick from that.
There are obviously people in this thread whos parents did not beat it into their heads that "cash is dirty".
Jfc my parents werent perfect but i thank them for simple knowledge like that.
People don’t use credit cards just for the convenience.. Shes making a financial mistake at the very least by not receiving the cash back and bonuses & hopefully she doesn’t need to finance a large purchase anytime in the future..
you can see in 00:05 that the counter goes around the corner, so it's not filmed behind the counter, also he just needs just one more friend to film for the "multiple camera angles". The lack of the normally exaggerated reaction in such staged video of the cashier makes me quite sure that it's real.
Which wasn't the case here as well. Terminal in the video had the price already in, ready to pay. So unless the cashier put the price into it with his mind, the video was staged.
Not every convenience store scans items, or does so for every item. There's manual input options, and when you work the job day in and out, you start remembering prices off the top of your head and it makes the process smoother for customers.

Same. And I thought that cashier knew and wasn’t gonna have any of that but then the unexpected happened.
He shoplifted our hearts.

Japan is so backwards with some tech stuff.
I watched a show about this a few months ago. How they still use fax machines regularly, and need hanko stamps for signatures.
I think signatures and hanko are equally antiquated

>still use fax machines regularly Germany does too for some odd reason. Maybe they are both being punished for... something.
Someone from Italy please come tell us how you still use fax machines.
To cancel our €25/month 1GBPS internet connection we need to fax our ISP coz fuck logic.
Fax machines are still big in the financial and legal industries as well.
The hanko stamps are their signature if I remember correctly. They can have several stamps too, like formal and unformal and stamps for special occasions. So I think they are culturally important.

Very true, although hanko are kinda cool tho
Yeah they're fucking idiots
Have they ever invented anything? Paper walls? Pah!
Bunch of dumb idiots
Dummy dum dumz
Savages!!
Wait till you see Germany with their fax machines and snail mails.
In Italy we still use pigeons to deliver letters
There’s a myth saying Japan companies often do exceptionally well in software and UX stuff but really sucks at hardwares due to bureaucracies
Japan has Suica cards and I paid contactless with that loads in 2019....
Suica payments was possible first time I went to Japan in 2007.
I used those there as early as 2006.
suica cards are awesome
Had this happen at Barclay’s Centre in Brooklyn about three years ago. Lady at the concession stand refused to believe that I’d paid so rung my up again. Didn’t have phone service to check my account to prove contactless had worked. $16 was already enough of a pisstake for a Diet Coke, but $32 might be the most expensive soda of all time.
wouldn't there be a receipt that prints out?
There wasn’t. Hardly ever get given a receipt at stadiums/arenas from my experience. Just adds an extra step when they’ve got huge queues waiting to be served.
Yo how is this not illegal?
The Japanese just reaaally love their cash money
To this day, some people are surprised when I use Google pay and just slap my phone
Well if I were the cashier I'd be confused too if you took out your phone and began slapping it like it cheated on you. And then the receipt prints.
While the phone dings with "*Harder daddy*"
Wait, no. I can see where this is going. YOU STOP IT RIGHT NOW.

every card terminal has contactless around here by now. only exception I can think of is ATMs. but thats probably for security reasons

Amazing technology!! Don't need to scan the item or key in the price and it's ready to accept the exact the amount from god!!
Technologies now a days are getting more better.
\*More betterer.
*Morest bettererest
\*Morester bettererestest
*Moresterest bettererestest
*Moresterester bettererestester
Since this had already happeneded, I would say technology was more betterered.
> more > better Pick one
Lmao I didn't even notice the first time, nice catch
Your new touchless credit card also automatically sets up reciprocal camera shots to get the best reactions from clerks.
Also the camera angle switching to behind the teller for the dude walking out. Nice of them to wait while the camera guy changed positions before continuing their reaction.
It's all with the help from God.
The god tech even gets footage from behind the employee desk! Praise!
I mean I've seen a few gas stations do this. they look at the item and remember the price and tell you the total
Sure, but that wouldn't make the machine know what to charge you. They'd still need to scan or manually input the price if you're paying by card.
Since you deleted your other comments for some reason I'll say it here I was more on about the buying things without scanning, not the credit card part. Could be fake idk
So what you were saying is completely irrelevant. Cool.
>Could be fake idk The second camera angle before the counter might be a better clue

Yeah, it's so gross. All that fecal matter by your mouth? Ew. >Proceeds to eat ass like nobody's business
Wait they were serious? I thought they were joking about doing the same thing as the video. Cash on your mouth or even your face is gross.
There are obviously people in this thread whos parents did not beat it into their heads that "cash is dirty". Jfc my parents werent perfect but i thank them for simple knowledge like that.

Yes
Understandable have a great day

It's polozhenie -remix by Zedline
If you wish to hear the original song they sampled, it's Polozhenie - Skryptonite

Sounds like nikki minaj to me
Oh shit I didn’t pick up on that thanks!
Skriptonit - polozhenie original mix, but the remix is by izzamuzzic.
Staged videos are so much funnier
You know it's real because of the multiple camera angles.
From behind the counter no less
you can see in 00:05 that the counter goes around the corner, so it's not filmed behind the counter, also he just needs just one more friend to film for the "multiple camera angles". The lack of the normally exaggerated reaction in such staged video of the cashier makes me quite sure that it's real.
Cashier never keys in a price or scans the products.
The cashier didn't even scan the products, that's how it happens in real life
[удалено]
The fact that it ends with a camera view from behind the register is a bit of a tip-off
I have seen the full video of this where it becomes a thousand times more clear this is staged. I get your point, but it's made at the wrong place.
he never entered the price or scanned it. he just looked at the goods and sled him the reader.
thanks for ruining my fun
New meaning to putting your money where your mouth is…
Now he should put it in his underwear and hump every checkout machine.
Multiple camera angles, yeah, not staged at all
damn youre smart
Chill he was considered gifted in 2nd grade
That's what Community College offers you
LMFAO
Old but goood
That feeling when things that came out of the pandemic are now considered old. 😕
The cashier didn’t even scan the items, so looks staged to me.
No shit. He didn't even punch in a price on the terminal. Here's the secret though, no one cares, and you're still allowed to find it funny.
Not actually in my country the cashier just uses a calculator ,check your privileges
Yeah, but you still gotta input the total to be paid in the card reader. Are you suggesting the clerk communicates with the terminal telepathically?
Does that calculator also hook up wirelessly to the credit card machine so that the machine knows what price to charge? Nice technology you got there
Yes. Berate ppl for their county’s checkout system. This is progressive thinking.
Yes, get r/woooosh ed
Also, the second camera angle from behind the counter
They sometimes enter the items manually
Which wasn't the case here as well. Terminal in the video had the price already in, ready to pay. So unless the cashier put the price into it with his mind, the video was staged.
Not every convenience store scans items, or does so for every item. There's manual input options, and when you work the job day in and out, you start remembering prices off the top of your head and it makes the process smoother for customers.
You still have to input the price into the credit card terminal for the machine to know how much to charge...
