Sure, it’s a fair criticism that they are trying to push a subscription. Coin is a little archaic, I personally never even have cash with me, but they could have an NFC tap for a single purchase.
But their subscription approach also makes sense and would benefit some frequent visitors. I assume it means you can use the subscription on all of their machines. And there’s simply no easy way of doing that other than using an app. Could be a web app with QR code, I suppose.
Yup, it’s the lack of options that’s bothering me. It’s either tap water or a full blown app+subscription, nothing inbetween.
The reason I mentioned coins is because I think that cash should always remain an option even though I’m personally almost always using digital payments as well.
