First there was cash then,there were Credit Cards and now smart phone payment systems take over.

We are living in a world today were everything is being based on technology innovations and how to be more efficient with out time. Well, good news for everyone who is feeling like having a hot cup of Joe in the morning but don't really have the time, because Starbucks introduced a new way to pay for your cup of Joe -- the Starbucks Card Mobile system. This new payment method has been tested in only big Starbucks market such as, Seattle (where it was founded) and some stores in California.
The way it works is that you download the Starbucks Card Mobile on to your smartphone and then you can use it to charge drinks and other purchases through your device to your credit card. This make purchases a lot more faster than having to dig on your purse or wallet for cash or waiting for your card to be approve and sign the receipt, this takes away that payment hassle. Also, this is convenient for Starbucks retailers because it would mean that they can serve more customers is a shorter period of time. In my opinion, I think this is a great idea in other to get lines moving faster and service being more optimum.

Make It Active.
