What do you use for data collection?

[Brendan60Pilot]

If you wanted to hit the streets and find out if there is a potential market need, what do you use to collect that data?
Example:
I want to create a payment system like google wallet. A hypothesis would be: "the majority of people checking out in stores have their smartphone in their hand." I would test this by either:

1. sitting at the grocery/mall and watch, or
2. ask all the tellers I came across

But how do you record this data for analyzing? I know how I would do it. I'm more concerned with the medium. Pen and pad? APP?
What do YOU as an entreprenuer use?
