Apple Pay
Milennial here.... So I have noticed that whenever I hold my phone up to pay for any products or services, and the cashier is Gen Z age, they almost always say "Apple Pay"? And I say, "No, but something like that".
I understand that most Gen Z people are big on IPhone's so they associate "tap to pay" from a phone with Apple pay. That being said, It makes them sound like a boomer. Like when an old man says "I sent you an email" and they mean text message.
The kicker is that my phone being Samsung, it can pay without opening any app or anything. If it's on the main home screen, you can just tap and it charges my card. when I tell a Gen Z/IPhone person this and hand them my phone to do it (like in a drive thru), they usually freeze and try to teach me how to do it. I have to swear to them that if they just place the phone on the tap to pay sensor, it will work. They come back all amazed like I'm David Blaine and I just levitated in broad daylight.
Anyways, that's my constructive criticism rant...
