+7 Sitting at a bar, staring at a pay to charge your phone kiosk and thinking, is this what payphones have become? amirite?

I mean, you just went from paying for millions of different stationary pay phones to now paying for one pay phone in your pocket.

It's a smart business plan, instead of paying them to use their phone, they made you pay them to use your phone.

I would Argue just because the service is related to a phone and requires payment doesn't make it a pay phone.

Yeah if you're out somewhere with a dead battery, it's probably not because you were talking on the phone.

I'm going to say not really. It's a different niche. Like if your phone broke, you can't call anyone with it. And you could charge things that aren't phones either. But yeah, they definitely have some similarities, people talking while standing at them and they always seem to be broken when I really need to use it.

Not really. You can bring a USB charger and skip the charging ports.

That's if the place will let you have access to an outlet. And if they have a pay-to-charge kiosk, odds are they're going to direct you there.

Lmao spelling is correct, just a minor misclick. Nothing that takes more than 2 seconds to understand

It's spelled "way", not "wya".
