Paying for Coffee with Mobile Apps

The weather has been a little strange lately.  You never know what will happen.  The coffee shop was running a special that could not be passed up. 

You have to jump on those deals when they have them.  This was the first time to try something new.  Everything is going mobile.  The coffee shop has coffee gift cards, but this time it was time to try the google android mobile app.

It was really simple to do.  Didn't have to pull out any of the many different gift cards that get reloaded all the time.  Placed the coffee order for something good and cold to drink. 

Pulled up to the window and a pretty young lady was ready to process the order.  Just hit the button and a bar code popped up on the google android phone.  She scanned it and the order was complete. 

This was the first experience using a mobile app to pay for something. Not to shabby.  Everything is going digital.
