I just had the WORST restaurant experience. INSANE
Walk into this diner, ask the woman if they accept Google pay and show my android (my iPhone is in another country, this is my travel phone), she says yes.
Order and eat some terrible food, whatever, ask to pay
Mentally ill guy takes me over to the terminal, doesn't work. (I used my Google pay 10 mins ago on a water in another shop so it's not my phones issue)
"Ahh AHHH OOHH AHHO ITS NOT WORKING! YOU NEED TO TYPE IN YOUR CODE ON YOUR PHONE!!"
"no I just hold it to the termina-"
"NOO YOU TYPE IN THE CODE, THE CODE UHHHAHHHEHHHH"
I start rubbing my temples in utter disappointment and stupefaction in this situation I've found myself in. I consider suicide
this repeats 5 times, they call the owner and hand the phone to me
"Can you place your Google pay in the ATM outside? Like place your phone in the ATM"
Nigga what?
Mentally ill guy is spazzing out in the corner, telling the whole restaurant I need to type in my iPhone apple pay pin
People are now watching. They think I'm broke or a criminal. Feels awkward
I offer bank transfer, CASH, Cash app and PayPal. They refuse cash because they "cashless". Bitch it's legal tender. I almost faint from shear shock
I'm sitting there for 30 mins with them INSISTING I try my card again and again expecting a different result each time. I'm going insane. I start foaming at the mouth and shaking uncontrollably
Other customers who are using Google pay don't have their payments go through. Clearly a problem with the terminal. Restaurants claims it's everyone's phones who has problems, not their terminal. I then mumble something about how the Taliban would never do something like this to me.
Then the police walk in!!
They called the police on like 5 customers inc myself. Great customer service. They tell the police WE'RE COLLUDING TO GET FREE FOOD?! IDK THESE PEOPLE
Police think this is retarded and use their own google pay for like a $1 test payment. Fails. Police conclude that the terminal has a problem.
Upon hearing this, the mentally ill man goes ballistic. I'm considering the prospect of suicide at this point. The Mexican staff are bewildered and can't mentally comprehend the situation. I'm surrounded by utter retards.
At this point a crowd of Google pay customers are complaining, the restaurant is on the verge of a riot. I consider DM'ing Israel to airstrike me right there and then, I'm crying in a corner whilst rocking back and fourth.
I snap and call them retarded, I give them my ID and take a $60 Uber to my hotel and back to pay with my friends iPhone apple pay. I wasted 1.5 hours for crap food
And you know what they say when I return and pay?
"Where's the tip, aren't you going to tip"
WHERE'S THE TIP? HERE IS A TIP, CLOSE DOWN YOUR ESTABLISHMENT
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE
