I suspect this is where our AI agents will really come to shine: helping people who might have a technical bend but are not programmers do cool things.
Yeah. Anyone who hated writing code but had to, like biologists and chemists, now don't have to.

Around 2019 or so I was approached by an engineer who had a small business retrofitting very old machine tools with modern motion controls. Think very large lathes and planers.

Tap to pay probably doesn't help with getting people into the alley but probably helps with 'one more game'. Your beginners have to come for shoes anyway, and the pointer to which lanes to take (you don't want them taking a lane at 6:30 that's reserved at 7)
At least you could display a message that says "this lane is reserved. Open lanes: 6, 7"
