Forget swiping your card - thanks to a banner year for biometric payments, with JPMorgan and Mastercard joining the fray, paying with your face could soon be your new reality.

  • I’ve grown up hearing the phrase “No COD” on literally every product. I know it was a thing at one time, but dude… I can’t even pay cash for a pizza delivery these days.

      Payment on delivery is still very much a thing here. Literally all food delivery allows it.

      The majority of online retailers allow it too, though some of them charge the equivalent of ~1€ if you do choose it.

      I prefere using it when I don’t know much about the store or if I know the store is too big to care about their customers and I had orders being delayed by them in the past. It’s in their best interest to deliver it asap if they didn’t get the money yet.

      Also, it makes it a hell of a lot easier to deal with goods damaged during shipping, if the box is damaged you just refuse it and don’t have to wait x amount of days to get the money back into your account.
