as i pulled up to the gym i noticed i was running out of gas. i typically fill up at half-way, but this past week was busy for me so i let it slip. instead of going to the gym, i figured i’d be better off filling up on gas at the moment as i had 3 miles down to empty, then going to the gym afterwards. i pulled up to quiktrip with 1 mile dte. as soon as i felt my pockets for my wallet, i realized i didn’t have it on me! i also didn’t have enough gas to get home to get my wallet!! i sat in my car smiling at the nature of life before my mind wandered back to a conversation money and i had last year. he said quiktrip takes apple pay and that apple pay was literally just tapping your phone. i googled the inner-workings of apple pay and had it set up with a few minutes. i was able to fill up and go to the gym.
i’m a bit old school in a way. i like having hard copies of cds. i prefer cash over card. i like keys for cars. typically i’m a traditional guy, but today i was thankful for the conveniences of technology.
