If you see a QR code at the checkout counter, that’s your golden ticket. It’s like the barcode’s cooler, square-shaped cousin.
Open your PayPal app on your phone. Look for the icon that says “Pay in Store” or a little scanner button—it’s usually hiding at the bottom of the screen.
Scan the store’s QR code. Confirm the amount. Boom! You’ve just paid without touching a single germy keypad. Your hands stay clean, and your dignity remains intact.
Pro Tip:
If the QR code is too small and your eyesight is bad (we’ve all been there), just zoom in. No one is judging you, I promise. That cashier has seen way worse than an over-zoomer.
