Being from DC, I understand your confusion.
No confusion. We invented the "change the subject in a subtle yet unrelated way way" method of arguing. It's our favorite local pastime.
Doesn't make it right, though.
Got a tip for us?

Well......guys you all had me excited about the thought of using Walmart so I went to buy milk and bread.
The Walmart is a SuperWalmart in Naperville,IL and it opened up Spring 2013.
Well they do not have NFC terminals and NO APPLEPAY there!!!!
Oh well!

it worked yesterday at McDonald's for me
did you get her number?
There is something sort of ironic and humorous about all these posts about the $700-$1200 phones "working well" at places like Wal-Mart and McDonalds. lol
I just tried Apple pay for the first time today.
So super simple. I went to Office Depot. I just took my phone out, brought it up about a foot from the NFC terminal, the lock screen immediately showed my credit card and the amount to charge. I touched the Touch ID button. That's it. Charged. The lady gave me my receipt, and I was done.
No going into apps, nothing. Just there immediately on a locked phone. I will definitely use this all the time. Apple has a true winner here. Bye, bye touching the credit card terminal, to choose 'credit', swiping the card, it asking 'Is this amount okay?' then clicking 'OK', then signing.
I wonder if I have more than 1 credit card that can be used how it works? Are both shown and you swipe/pick between them?
How does this work on Google Wallet? Is the card on the lock screen as well? Is it verified with a passcode? Do you need to sign or transact with the credit card terminal in any way?

I love Walmart, Its the only store within 100 miles of me, besides mom and pop stores no malls or Apple Stores out here
You could tell her I know it looks like an iPhone 6 now, but if you show a little skin I'll show you how it turns into the 6+ with the 5.5 inches on full display
Sorry I Didn't know that you were the personality police. I bet you are the life of the party
Clearly...Apple clearly explained!
I just have 8 more weeks of my Mandarin Chinese lessons and then I'll be able to go back and get those clearly explained details.

I believe we are trying to find out where we can use this system. Apple has given us very incomplete information.
I am wondering why any store chain would have a payment technology working a store a and not at store b.
My guess is that the Walmart was built after they stopped putting the NFC terminals
I just like how people think they are too good to shop at someplaces. If someone wants to go to Walmart, why should people care? Are they less of a human because they shop at Walmart?
I suppose you'll go to McDonalds next.
I'll be testing my Apple Pay with a Gucci Belt from Nordstroms btw.
I can vouch for it working at my Walmart too! ONLY at Walmarts with the new terminals, the Verifone Mx915!
If they have the mx860 or Ingenicos (unfortunately this is most Walmart's, Apple Pay will not work). Because most Walmarts don't have it, Apple doesn't list them as accepting it.
Two Walmarts in my area have the new Mx915, and it does work!!!

Nope, haven't eaten any fast food for years. Go have fun at Nordtroms.
I don't judge and I don't care. There are more important things to worry about in life then to care where people shop.
Wrong. I worked at Walmart and the self checks have Ingenicos with no NFC, and the manned cashiers have the new Mx915 with NFC. This inconsistency is why Walmart is not promoting it.
Whether or not you guys like or dislike Walmart having this work at the worlds largest retailer is big news. And I can confirm it does work at my local Walmart, but as I said earlier, your Walmart has to have the new terminals, the Verifone Mx915.
It also doesn't work at Self Check, only a regular cashier. Most Walmarts have the old grey Ingenico, which only has Chip & PIN, and not NFC. If you want to use Apple Pay at Walmart, your store has to have the Mx915 with both Chip and PIN, and NFC....which my store does!

Congress needs to standardize the payments system or do something so that the actual format used to exchange data is open source such that Apple can't monopolize this. I believe that this is already the case, b/c apple pay is using the ordinary credit card data + some token.
But if Apple's talking about creating some proprietary system to eliminate credit card altogether, that's a big problem unless they're forced to make it open source.
If it's got an NFC reader, any nfc-compliant device should be able to process your payments by law. Apple or google or whoever else can compete for which device or service I use, but the core spec must be free and open to all.
It is not acceptable if b/c of Apple's popularity, you will have to be forced to own an iphone in order to do payments of the future.
