    I would think that comes with experience. Each to their own I suppose. If it makes the technology more accessible, I’m all for it, but not at the cost of increased prices.

      NFC stickers cost virtually nothing when bought in bulk. Like, less than 10 cents if you are buying at extreme numbers. Programming them is dead simple as well.

      It’s a minor thing, but it helps. They put rfid tags on merchandise in some stores instead of bar codes, so I assume the cost is negligible.

      On a tangent: That’s an even better use case, actually. Rfid makes it super convenient to shop at Decathlon (sports equipment store): you just throw all your clothes in a basket at checkout and it calculates your total in an instant. No scanning, no fiddling.
