I can only see this going into a very dystopian path. Based on their actions, I don't trust these companies, their security practices, nor their privacy policies. Why would I give them my biometrics? And my full palm, at that!? Hell no!

Haha! Good point. It's been "mandated" a couple years ago, right? It's barely anywhere

Interesting regional differences. It's incredibly rare that I find a store that doesn't support tap-to-pay

I live in DC and most groceries don't support it.

Whole Foods wants to use some qr code thing, probably precursor to the palm.
