SF reinvented yet another wheel in worst possible way.

Stuff was sold this way for centuries. Take a fruit or a newspaper, leave coins in a jar, no cashier needed.

No but they carry contactless cards and nfc enabled phones. Tapping a card reader is far more convenient than both cash and the system outlined in the article.
