I stopped at Dominical feria market today to pick up my favorite latte.

Of course paid with bitcoin.

The interaction is even faster than with a credit card or cash, because they already know me, so I just pay to their printed lightning address QR while they prepare my coffee and they don't ask to see the confirmation or anything.

I always add a bit extra tip. 😊

Now in terms of experience improvements - while this is time efficient when I make the payment in parallel to them making the coffee, I find paying to lightning address QR annoying. The main annoyance is that I need to put down the total amount in my app.

Imo a better experience would be if the QR opens a page that either allows me to select from the list of products (e.g. Latte: 2000CRC, Espresso:1000CRC...), I just select those, tap pay and that opens my lightning wallet of choice. Even better would be if the website somehow magically knows exactly what I ordered (this would require coordination with some seller POS, so this more applies to restaurants, not ferias).

The website could show something like
