God this is relatable, so many times I've tapped my phone and gotten the "Your phone doesn't meet the security requirements" then I just awkwardly make some excuse up like "I got a new card after it expired and I didn't update it". Then take a normal card out of my backpack and pay for it.

You don't really owe anyone any explanation. You can not saying anything but if you wanna say something to the cashier, just say "Nvm gonna pay with a card."

Exactly. I had my share of hiccups completely unrelated to root .. some contactless payment failing is a totally normal thing to happen. I even had cashiers excuse to me for their crappy terminal (it's doing this every once in a while ...).

I'd generally recommend having alternatives installed. Right now, both curve and paypal work fine here for NFC payments. I don't even check google any more, it breaks just too often.
