    My favorite one was buying train tickets in Poland. I would always get stuck behind someone asking tings like “what would be the price of a ticket from Warsaw to Moscow, through Kiev, 3 months from now for a group of 5 people, two on whom are children and 2 have disability and a return ticket 5 months later but through Riga and this time for 8 people 6 of which are elderly and 2 have discount for railway workers?.. ok… what about a ticket to Berlin through Wrocław 5 months from now for 2 elderly veterans and a return…”. And I’m not even exaggerating. I would change the line only to end up right behind another person asking about some crazy connections.

    Okay this meme template suddenly getting used multiple times in a few days after I watched the Truman Show makes me feel like I’m in the Truman show and the director is just kinda trying to fuck with my head.

    I waited behind a lady at the self kiosk for like 15 min while she repeatedly swiped her phone across some plastic piece on the machine. Machine did not have contactless pay.

    Yes. Her phone.

      IIRC (from my coworker) Samsung had a feature where their phones could somehow emulate swiping a magnetic strip on a reader. This was ~6 years ago, so only some terminals had tap-to-pay.

        Yeah but the reader has to have that ability. And this one had like 5 signs that said cards must be inserted. It had no reader for holding a card or phone up to it.

        And she was swiping it across this yellow thing that was above where the stamps are dispensed. It def did not read cards nor phones.

        Yes but not at the usps kiosk . That only accepts swiping cards through the reader. It did not have contactless pay.

        It had like 2 signs that said cards must be inserted. And states which cards were accepted. Didn’t accept apple pay or any phone payment.
