Oh dear, you might actually have to go inside and talk to a human when you

pay.
The horror!


The "inside" isn't manned 24x7. And thanks for confirming my impression
that there's a breed of tech geek who thinks one minor improvement is
justifiable, how ever many negative consequences it has. (And no,
talking to humans isn't one of those - the human's barcode reader
struggled to read the new fob too, increasing the length of the queue).


So pay by card or cash, whats the problem?


Do keep up; it's their *loyalty* card, not a payment card.
