“Apple Pay is so easy to use, it’s almost not worth writing about. It’s laughably fast and stupidly simple,” Susie Ochs reports for Macworld. “So simple it’s confusing the heck out of [U.S.] clerks and cashiers nationwide.”
“In these early days of Apple Pay, the speed and simplicity are also the perfect recipe for hilarity,” Ochs reports. “As in, the cashiers I’ve encountered definitely did not get a memo, and to a man and woman they had nooooo idea what was going on.”
“First, I went to Walgreens. I selected some socks. Four pairs for $7! You can never have too many socks, I always say,” Ochs reports. “I casually used Apple Pay to buy the socks. The smiling man must have thought I was checking my texts or something, because he was totally unprepared for the transaction to be complete. ‘What did you do?!’ he exclaimed in the tone of a caveman who just saw someone light a Zippo instead of rubbing two sticks together.”
