> so I'm stuck using a bank card like a caveman.

What is "caveman" about a payment method that doesn't need to have a charged battery?

It was intended as a light hearted description of how it feels to use a marginally less convenient technology. I now have to ensure I have my bank card with me when I buy groceries which is a tiny bit annoying when you got used to just knowing your phone would cover most things.

    I guess that's a technology I never adopted in the first place, so I can't relate. Futzing around with my phone never felt more convenient than pulling out a card. I still needed my wallet for my ID and cash, so a couple cards is hardly a meaningful burden. To each their own, I suppose.
