Not hating, just a funny difference you notice when traveling.
I have installed some Point Of Sale stuff and from what I understand Canada was one of the first test-beds for this. We got Debit cards long before most other places. I had a debit card in 1984 and my US and UK cousins were blown away by this.

But I think we are lagging behind with the digital wallet concept. I know my watch has Samsung Pay but I won't be able to use it most places yet because they haven't set it all up in Canada yet.
