I know loyalty card reading is nfc capable but don't know what action I must take? It should not need to be manually scanned by hand held scanner. Perhaps the loyalty card info is only passed by nfc after paying.
I Use a credit card .
Walking in a place like a service station with cash and walking back out, can get you robbed.

You must be right. I thought it said in the Google write up they would automatically pass to the machine if in vicinity but both of you agree and you're both more knowledgeable than I. It is odd that the app requires finding the show code button after finding the card. If it isn't NFC the code should show right away. I mean everyone will need the code immediately to be manually scanned.AFAIK, these are bar code scan only, not NFC.
Cash? What's cash? Do you swipe it or is it chip-enabled?
I don't believe there is such standard (NFC contactless) for store royalty cards. The Google Pay/Apple Pay on the other hand are standard adopted by all major credit cards.You must be right.

I'm still a stubborn cash guy hold out..... and probably will be for the foreseeable future, but it's extremely informative and interesting reading this thread ;-)

When I see people paying with cash in front of me, I want to club them like a baby seal. (Wait, can we still say that??? )
Seriously, the people holding up the line to pay at the cafe at my office are always the cash people. Always looking for exact change or the cashier making change. Same thing when I buy my coffee in the morning. I want an 'EZ-Pass' lane for folks using electronic payments.
The are food spots in NYC that don't take cash.

It rarely happens now, but it was infuriating when people would not use electronic payment options and instead write checks, particularly in grocery stores with people waiting behind them. They could've used an ATM card to pay from the same account. So rude...
You may not like it when people do so but, don't think it qualifies as rude because some people prefer to pay by check.
IMO it's self-indulgent and inconsiderate to be filling out checks and making clerks process them (depending on retailer, can be a time consuming task) when an ATM card can effect the exact same transaction from the same checking account much more quickly.
In any event its their choice and I respect that. If I'm in that much of a hurry it's my fault. Most of the people I've seen who pay with check are on the ederly side. Probably afraid of debit cards. I've seen some people who screw up using debit cards which end up taking just as long as writing a check.

Yes, I agree at this point that's right. As I noted in my original comment, it's pretty rare now and agree mostly seniors. I was really commenting about, shall we say, slow adopters of all ages in the past ("It was infuriating..."), when it was common to regularly get stuck in line behind a check writer.
