I sent Google Wallet support the following message:
I'd like to know specifically why I was allotted a ticket and unable to complete the transaction. Was this a problem with the registration application? Was it a problem with Google Wallet? Should I be concerned about using Google Wallet as my own payment gateway? What steps are being taken to prevent this from happening in the future?
Here is their sophisticated and well reasoned technical response.
Hello John,
Thanks for your reply. I understand this issue can be frustrating on your part and I apologize for the inconvenience.
Our registration system might have mistakenly processed the registration but the order was cancelled and is now sold out.
I would recommend reading The Vegetarian Myth as well, as it concerns eating meat, dairy, and avoiding grains. The author makes a pretty compelling argument about why monoculture, grained based agriculture is both damaging to the environment and to our health.
And as for perfectly natural, try eating wheat, rice, or any other grain directly from the field, versus an apple.
