The company on Tuesday launched Amazon One, a new biometric technology that enables shoppers to enter and pay for items at stores by placing their palm over a scanning device. In order for it to work, users first have to connect their palm to a stored credit card. After that, users are able to pay with their hand. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/09/29/amazon-palm-payment-system-amazon-one-announced.htmlHmmmmm... Seems I have heard about this somewhere before.

That'll bring a new meaning to "Palm Sunday".

I wouldn't do it, but much prefer using my phone or watch for payment over traditional payment methods.

My hospital used to have patients get their palms screened when they checked in for confirmation of identification.
I think we have stopped. Not sure if covid related or not. I seem to remember it stopping prior to covid but I am just not sure.
Am I perfect? No
Am I trying to be a better person?
Also no
