💳 TESTED TAP AT 7 SPOTS — WHAT FAILED?

Full transcript

I tested tap-to-pay at seven locations. Vending machine? Worked. Parking meter? Worked. Gas pump, boutique—all worked. But then I hit a vintage record store with an old POS system—rejected. Farmer's market? No tap support. Laundromat with a 2003 reader? Dead. The pattern's clear: new terminals accept taps, old independent stores and legacy systems kill your tap cold. Five out of seven worked—solid odds, but the gap is real.
