    When I’m out I keep my phone on airplane mode and in a little faraday bag. I am not dragging out my phone and waiting for it to reacquire signal every time I want to buy cigarettes. Nevermind that defeats the point of the faraday bag…

      Your phone does not need an internet connection to tap to pay, in the same way your credit cards do not need an internet connection to tap to pay

      I just wrap the Faraday bag around the card reader and let NFC do its thing. The cashiers hate me, but sometimes the cute ones get confused and let me draw them in their underwear.
