Kinda funny how much faster Europe has adopted retail tech lately. Last time I was there 7 years ago they were still mostly using cash for transactions, but now the cashiers get a little buttmad if I don't tap my phone to the scanner immediately. I hardly see anyone using phone payments in the US and I don't understand why it hasn't caught on. At least not where I live. It's about as fast and convenient as it gets.
Or maybe it's just because I'm in a major city right now and kit everywhere in Europe is like this.
Pretty much in any major town in my tiny country, this is the case also.
