It's getting to the point if a place doesn't take Apple Pay I don't do business with them.
More restaurants need to accept Apple Pay or equivalent.

Handing our CC is not acceptable anymore or having to input it into a computer.

Same goes for Social Security numbers. If a medical facility asks for my SS number I refuse. I will sign a financial agreement but you're not getting my SS#

This number was meant for taxes but has turned into an ID card.

If you have ever been a victim of identity theft you will wish you were never born. There is limited resources to resolve an identity theft problem.

It's a total nightmare, especially trying to explain to the IRS it wasn't you who worked under your social for $80,000 and had no taxes taken out of it.

We need a universal federal ID number for identification not my social security number.

America is so behind the times when it comes to cyber security. Look had long it took them to mandate chips in the CC instead of the swipe strip which a 8 year old can steal.

Almost every place in Europe has some form of electronic pay. Here in America we handing some stranger at a restaurant our CC. It's insanity.
