    Google Pay support

    I can not comprehend this. Ditching Google is why I yearn for alternatives to stock Android.

      Here’s an example and why I’m not on a custom ROM. My job has “restaurant credit” as one of the benefits. That’s 200 euros a month in a card that can only be used through Google/Apple pay.

      So either I skip the money or I need a second phone with me all the time.

        It may be possible to convince them to offer that another way, if you care about software freedom and they care about what you value.

          That’s very short sighted of you. I value my privacy, but 200 euros a month for using a custom ROM it’s a very expensive price. My company values me, but it’s a large company and making exceptions like this is an accountant s nightmare, specially for a benefit that’s not even part of my contract.

            I didn’t mean just privacy but software freedom. I would try to avoid that perk if I could afford it.

            I don’t recommend asking for an exception, but for everyone to get the opportunity to get that restaurant perk without needing proprietary software.

                  Here’s the summary for the wikipedia article you mentioned in your comment:

                  A ZIP Code is a system of postal codes used by the United States Postal Service (USPS). Introduced on July 1, 1963, the basic format consisted of five digits. In 1983, an extended ZIP+4 code was introduced; it included the five digits of the ZIP Code, followed by a hyphen and four digits that designated a more specific location. The term ZIP is an acronym for Zone Improvement Plan; it was chosen to suggest that the mail travels more efficiently and quickly (zipping along) when senders use the code in the postal address. ZIP Code is a trademark and ZIP+4 is a registered trademark of the United States Postal Service, which also registered ZIP Code as a service mark until 1997.

            It’s a random number, same as the user. I’m not even on Americas. What’s the story with that zip code?

        Strive for the future you want, reject bad choices where you can.

        I’ve never paid via my phone. If I could replace debit card with cash I would.
