I asked to use Scan to pay. The card pos generated a QR code. They don't even know you are paying via lightning. Scan to pay is a feature for multiple different payment options.

You use a qr scanner app that links to your lightning wallet.

A third party gets your sats and settles with pick &pay in rands I assume.

It's better that no one know how you are paying.

Don't want to attract the wrong kind of attention.

what qr app are you using?

as far as I know it's only one store in Cape Town that has a lighting wallet connected to the local node

CryptoQR on the play store. You can link muun, wallet of satoshi or blue wallet. Have not tried others.

You can put fuel in at almost any fuel station that has the scan to pay feature.

You can buy clothes at Mr Price.

A lot of other stores as well.

Ask for "Scan to pay" specifically. Don't even mention lightning or bitcoin, most tellers would not know what you are talking about.

The company that takes your sats is called cryptoconvert.co.za

I am never doing this

Don't know him, but nice to see other Boere Afrikaner/Soutie saffers on Nostr.
