Convenience Store News: Retail technology firm Pay By Touch expects to see a dramatic expansion for 2006 in the number of stores offering its finger scanner-based system, which allows customers to use their finger to access an "electronic wallet" of direct debit and credit payment options at cash registers. Almost 300 stores are in Pay By Touch's network, but John Morris, chief operating officer, said he expected at least 6,000 stores to be using the company's payment system by the end of 2006.
