I can only see this going into a very dystopian path. Based on their actions, I don't trust these companies, their security practices, nor their privacy policies. Why would I give them my biometrics? And my full palm, at that!? Hell no!

bro, come back to me when most stores accept touch emv payments. lol, like each fucking store is gonna know what to do with a fucking palm scan when emv is fucking forbidden magic.
Haha! Good point. It's been "mandated" a couple years ago, right? It's barely anywhere
Interesting regional differences. It's incredibly rare that I find a store that doesn't support tap-to-pay
I live in DC and most groceries don't support it.
Whole Foods wants to use some qr code thing, probably precursor to the palm.
