A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

A cashier told me once that it was rare that I tried to pay with an actual card, as nowadays people pay with their phone when they say they want to pay with card.
Here in a lot small shops you can pay with card only if you pay more then some amount, usually more than 4-5 EUR. Afaik it's not legal though
What convenience does a digital wallet add that a card cannot do ? isn't a digital wallet way less safer given that mobile platforms are the least secure ?
You would be easily able to find someone willing to butt chug an entire bottle of bleach before you find a single normal human that gives a single flying fuck about the security of their phones digital wallet out side of lemmy and the most shut in circles of nerdom.
It's just not a real argument, care or reality.
Is that a problem? More then likely yes. But is it the reality of the situation.
Phones are something people already carry around. Most young adults don't even keep their IDs on them anymore and just have pictures of them in their phone.
I work a job that requires frequently IDing people at a gate. In the last 3 months out of over 10k people only a handful even had their wallet on them while driving.
I'm just handed their phone with their gallery open to their id.
If my card would be stolen, the thief could pay some amount without entering the pin on a contactless terminal. On the phone you can't pay without touching the fingerprint reader, so it's more secure from at least this common atttack vector
In Poland I know that's illegal at least. A lot of shops tried to oppose cards, but law was more and more enforced. If shop proclaimed they service cards, they had to service them like cash - without any weird requirements.
The illegal part is that they add a restriction. If card payment is available they should offer it to everyone. Cash payments are still common here in Hungary
