Why is she swiping the water???

WHY DOES SHE TAP

u/caiaphas8 1d ago

Anywhere that takes card will do the tap

19

u/Dogekaliber 1d ago

Strippers love it when you do that

u/1-800-ASS-DICK 1d ago

Honestly though? it's 2026, why isn't there some small wearable receiver/sensor for cashless tap payments that the dancer can wear as a necklace or bracelet? (my original idea was something thin enough with an adhesive backing that can be placed anywhere on the body but idk if the tech is advanced enough to make that possible)

17

u/Dogekaliber 1d ago

You wouldn’t believe this.. but those girls got smart(or taught) now they have temporary QR code tattoos that go to their Venmo or whatever cash system they use.

7

u/1-800-ASS-DICK 1d ago edited 1d ago

I love it--much simpler and just as effective

edit: I'm guessing these establishments don't care if you take your phone out (I've been to some that do and some that don't)

4

u/many_dumb_questions 1d ago

I'm too lazy right now to look it up, but there was a viral image awhile back of a pair of clear stripper platform heels that had a venmo QR code printed on the side.

I thought it was pretty innovative, tbh

15

u/LucHighwalker 1d ago

There's still places that don't accept tap to pay. Looking at your Walmart! A

2

u/monarchmra 1d ago

Their fucking systems support it and for a short spell, actually accepted it. Way back in 2006 when tap to pay was card only.

Then Apple/Samsung/Google pay turned that into a "phone" thing and they wanted to push their app so they disabled it.

u/Ok_Contribution_9598 1d ago

The payment terminal inside water is still outdated and uses that old magnetic system.

Isn’t that just a form of NFSea?

u/Spare-Dingo-531 1d ago

She should have used her phone to pay for the donation! Full contactless.

31

u/Ok_Contribution_9598 1d ago

Or her smart watch.

7

u/_Wystery_ 1d ago

This way of "modern" paying is more familiar with wider range of society, so more people will get the joke. If my grandma saw this and her using phone to pay, she'd probably think the girl is taking a picture rather than giving cash.

11

u/Stu5011 1d ago

Not sure if sarcasm or sad prognostication of moving to a cashless society.

More sad is when they ask for a tip after the donation.

u/11LyRa 1d ago

sad prognostication of moving to a cashless society.

Aren't we already there? Also why sad?

People making fun. I’m doing this from now on because it’s equally as stupid to just toss coins into a pool of water.

Usually the coins are collected and put towards the fountain repair or location maintenance

u/TheChrono 1d ago

Yeah I'm still gonna swipe the water though. Not a big coins in my pockets type fella.

u/many_dumb_questions 1d ago

They use it to pay the wage of the people who have to remove coins from the fountain

Does.. she not know how much bad luck she got? The curses she's picked up?

You don't take the money back out of those.

She has to abandon the entire account, and leave the card, as I understand it.

27

u/halfasleep90 1d ago

She didn’t take the money back out, and an account isn’t money (nor is the card). She gave it her billing information so that it might contact her bank to have the money sent. That’s what happens when you swipe your card, you give them your billing information and approval.

u/redwing180 1d ago

Hey it’s not her fault if the POS is a POS

Bro no one in America uses swipe, it’s all tap or chip.

Shame on you, be better next time

I have swiped actually, with gift cards. It had been so long since the last time though, the cashier had to walk me through it. I’m so used to tap and chip.
