I'm an old millennial (or young gen X, depending on who you ask), but I can't see anyone thinking it's "cool" to have a tracking chip implanted like a dog.

It's not cool that it's a tracking chip. It's cool that you can pay for your snacks and open doors without pulling a card out of your pocket.

Depending on how invasive it is, I wouldn't mind it just for the novelty of the whole thing.

They could do that with a fingerprint reader if that were the point. In that case you would get a choice in whether it were read or not, instead of it being read automatically whenever you're nearby.

I wouldn't even want my fingerprint to be in any of these systems...

Facial recognition is the answer here for practical reasons.
