People are flooding to social media in fear over a TikToker paying for her groceries ‘with her hand’.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burgundy Waller – known as ‘Chip Girl’ on TikTok <\/a>– claims to have had a chip which uses radio-frequency identification implanted in her hand in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While she initially only used the chip as a replacement for keys to unlock her front door and household cupboards, Chip Girl has revealed an update to\u00a0the technology<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chip was allegedly implanted between the TikToker’s thumb and index finger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a previous post to the platform, Waller shared a look at her hand bandaged just after undergoing\u00a0the surgery<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The self-professed innovator, entrepreneur, dog mom, ‘bonus mom’, law student and wife<\/a> explained was inspired to do it after talking with her ‘techie husband’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She’s since revealed she no longer has to worry about forgetting her front door keys, but can also go out without her credit card<\/a> thanks to the chip.@chipgirlhere<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a clip uploaded to the platform on Saturday, 5 August, Chip Girl explains to the camera she’s testing out paying for her groceries <\/a>with her hand for the first time at Whole Foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She questions whether the transaction has been complete, and sure enough, a few seconds later, a beep can be heard on the store’s monitor indicating the purchase has gone through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“That’s the coolest thing ever,” she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it’s a handy way to never have to remember your keys or credit card again, not everyone is convinced by the technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some have argued the chip didn’t actually pay for Waller’s shopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One user said: “She has an Apple Watch on under the sleeve.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Card up the sleeve?” a second questioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, as one user noted: “This is chip girl, it\u2019s a chip.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
