I have days like this

Person in front of me today trying to pay with NFC on their phone.

A disturbing amount of bonking fails to release the goods, and requires manual attention before the payload is released.

Finally I can pay for my rapidly cooling coffee...except that the other teller is shouting, the card readers just gone down.

I reach into my pocket for change, lucky I am still old school and carry some real cash.

And Dabsy, just be thankful you didn't get an e-ticket and the train with the broken charging points. the railways are all pushing for these now, probably so that they can fire the (albeit cheap) sour faced sloth behind the counter.
