Enjoyment of most foods is subjective but here, between my stepson and my girlfriend, the Shaq-a-roni has been a hit. It's the sauce, crust and wall-to-wall pepperoni everyone seems to enjoy. Every time we've ordered the Shaq-a-roni to-date my girlfriend has made a Ceasar Salad to go along with it; anchovies are optional but I prefer those on a traditional Caesar Salad.

Dear lord that sounds like pizza heaven. Why can't we have that over here?!?

True dat, I also prefer contactless, but I just reach for whichever is closest (wallet or phone), however I still do have a small doubt about privacy when it comes to mobile payments.

Hmm is it really any different to a computer though?

 

[wakawaka89]

That's so interesting. I thought, by now mobile payments would be nr 1 choice in the US, but apparently not. I guess there's a lot of people who still prefer cash as well. I go between the two, if its a big retailer, I'll go with credit/debit card, if its a local business, I know its better for them when customers pay in cash, so I prefer that.

I was always using Google pay but I had a friend have an awful experience so I'm trying to stick to just debit

Especially if one likes pepperoni. The first experience of going with my family, years ago, to a pizzeria included ordering pepperoni on the pizza. It was a festive atmosphere too. Everyone reaching-in to grab a slice. It went pretty fast and we ordered a second one. Some of that went home as leftovers.

Also what's kroger

grocery store chain

 

[me just saying]

there are so many different mobile pay options available that it is hard to keep track of. Even the Dollar General stores chain have the DG pay. This is where samsung pay shines since you can bypass walmart pay and others as needed if other nfc payment services like apple and google are locked out.

Any pizza with pepperoni is a winner for me!

I use Google Pay in my LG V40
Samsung Pay on my Note 9

LG Pay needs to add more banks otherwise I would be using it over Google Pay on my V40

Google Pay is getting available in more places

I have also heard some bad things about paying with phones, not loads but enough to make me feel safer using my card for now

 

[xTlex]

these days you have just as much privacy as if you wrote a check or used plastic. everything is keeping track of you - except cash unless you use a rewards card.

That's true, still hate that it's the reality.

yeah, it also makes you wonder what will happen in the future with card payments and mobile payments. Whats next a chip in your arm thats linked to ur bank for payment?

is there anything that doesnt keep tabs on you though? even a reciept tells people what you have purchased

I genuinely never knew there were so many, I think i was naive and only really thought of 3! I knew of Samsung pay but forgot about!!

LG Pay is still new. It came out in 2019. LG is the worst cell phone manufacturer in advertising in the US.

don't know what bad things you are talking about but all payment systems whether using checks, plastic, cash or whatever has had bad things happened to them. IMO, mobile payments are safer than any payment system.

Not carried a wallet in about 5 years.
( Global pandemic lockdown not withstanding ,) I have used Google pay everyday without issue.
