Texans, our state nightmare of needing to take a wallet with us for groceries at HEB may be almost over… Central Market now has Apple Pay. No timeline yet for all HEBs, but I now believe. Never thought I’d live to see this day. 🤪

@manton You guys have digital driving licenses already? I can’t wait for that but I bet it’s at least another ten years away here in BC Canada.

@Jeremiah All tap to pay, so Google Pay, etc. should also work.

@tewha No, I haven't heard anything about digital driving licenses yet. That will be amazing.

@manton We had tap to pay here; Apple Pay went from zero to working almost everywhere in its first week.

@manton Wow. Contactless cards were ubiquitous in Sverige a decade ago. I guess new payment terminals would be a significant expense for a large chain with low margins.
