is it possible that bitcoin will be accepted in local stores, shops etc. since transactions are to slow and customers have to wait until their transactions are verified. And nobody wants to wait.
 Can transactions be seeded up to save customers time or any other way to use bitcoin  at local stores.

bitcoin via third party payment processors will be, just like c-cards now. for something large like a car, waiting 10 minutes is fine
Isn't Bitcoin decentralised meaning that transactions are peer to peer? If so I don't think that it makes sense to employ third party payment processors. It would just destroy the underlying philosophy of Bitcoin.
