"I like that it's on your keychain and it's fast to use," said Kristie Beenau, 36, of Peoria, Ariz., who has used ExpressPay for about six months at a CVS Pharmacy and fast-food restaurants. "I charge everything anyways. Now I wave it rather than get my card out. It's more convenient."Ms. Beenau is precisely the kind of buffoon this is targeted for.
