Or you could just use your myb.tc ID when talking on the phone.  But clearly, an easier way for people to pay merchants face-to-face is needed.  I suspect smart people are working on this problem as we speak.

I thought about using Bitbills and giving them my myb.tc ID for change. I'm thinking of some system where I could just walk into a place, spend money, and leave. Not carry a laptop, scan a QR code with my phone, send it to my computer, wait for the owner to check the exchange rate, and then send Bitcoins.

Call the place, talk to the owner, find out address, decide approximate order, send bitcoins, go eat for "free".

Over the phone?

Yes of course.

Or a pidgeon.

I'm going to New York soon and plan on visiting Meze Grill. I was reading about how the writer of that article paid, and it just seems so complicated. Is there a better way? I considered Bitbills or something, but even that, I don't know how I would get change. So what's the best way to pay for something in person?
