NFC provides shorter bursts of information at a closer range. That's why it's the preferred tech for mobile payments -- so that the customer has to actually stand at the register to use the system. Customers trying to pay for a pair of shoes while still in the menswear department isn't going to prove practical from either a customer service or payment security standpoint. So NFC makes more sense than BLE in that regard. I think that this guy still doesn't get this part and has probably been an NFC supporter who just can't put it aside. I guess he like standing in line at a register behind (insert your most obnoxious customer you had to stand behind). And, why not buy those shoes directly while still in menswear. Using BLE does not preclude you having staff on hand to help you or even check you out. It just saves you from having to find the register and stand in line.
