It appears that Marks & Spencer have, or are having, issues with this new technology. Has anyone used this?

It sounds as though some of you haven't seen the contactless card system in action.

The "contactless" part is something of a misnomer. You still have to hold your card up to a reader to the payment to occur - it's not like the reader detects your card while it's still in your pocket without you knowing.

The receivers just don't have that sort of range. Which is why this story is somewhat strange.
