completely non-factual. the chinese in china is very different than US because US chinese has been americanized. more fried, greasier and not really like real chinese food. it has nothing to do w/ "better ingredients" in the US, at all.
I'm quite aware of what the food is like in China. Food made by Chinese people in the US is better and I'm not talking about the "Americanized" stuff. I'm talking about the stuff you get when you go into Chinatown in LA, for example. The quality of all food is far superior in the US and anyone visiting from overseas always comments on how much food is available here.
It's nice that more and more banks are accepting ApplePay but I'd be great if more and more locations are accepting ApplePay.. That's what I'd like to read in the news more..
¿Que? This article is about a retailer accepting Apple Pay, not a bank.
Now if Pei Wei would only start selling good food I might start using my Apple Watch there, but right now they sell over-priced mediocrity.
This is one are where quality isn't as important as locations and customers. If it had been, say, a fancy Asian bistro with 2 locations it wouldn't really help much, but with 200 locations throughout the US this is a decent score for Apple Pay. Getting Target, Wal-Mart, and other places are certainly better wins, but this is worthy victory for those that enjoy using Apple Pay, even if we never step foot inside of Pei Wei.
I think one drawback to an iBeacon implementation like Target's is that you need to first download their app.
It would be much less hassle and more enticing to someone like me, who doesn't shop often, to just opt-in on the spot when I walk into a store.
It certainly would be helpful to those businesses and could possibly help infrequent customers find some deals, but the obvious potential issue is that if our device picks up and notifiies you of all beacons in an area it could easily get abused.
