I believe this is what distinguishes stores that support Apple Pay over stores that just support NFC. Stores that officially support Apple Pay treat your fingerprint as your signature
Nope, Wegman's still makes you sign if you go over $50.

Your mileage may vary, depending on the country and state you are in. In the US, the merchant generally has no right to stop you unless they suspect you of theft.
However, they don't have the right to search you (including your most recent purchase), unless security is a sworn police officer, and he/she has an suspicion you have committed a crime. It can't just be a "you look shady" suspicion: he/she has to have some evidence, observation, or witness to a crime.
Costco is an exception, because you must sign a membership agreement to make a purchase there. Buried in the membership agreement is a clause in which you agree to a bag search when exiting.
A merchant MAY also be able to do a bag search f they post a big sign at the entrance that says you are subject to a bag search on exit, and that you agree to it by entering the premises. But, I'm not sure that's ever been tested in court.
Because some of us (using Macs since 1986) could not figure how to use the darn thing. I did not want to be that jerk at starbucks trying to use apple pay holding up the line, when just a swipe with plastic works now. Thank you for the video, appleWhy is this news when Apple Pay was introduced over a year ago? As of now in FL most retailers still do not accept it.
Northern VA. Most of the terminals are verisign or some other type terminal that also supports legacy card swipes and all have signature capability. You sign with their pen on screen. I put a dot if it will take it or a straight line otherwise.Where in the world are you and how the heck do you sign?
Well that's dumb. The technology is there for the machine to distinguish physical cards from contactless payments, so it makes sense to treat your fingerprint as a secure signature. I'm sure we'll get to that point eventually.Nope, Wegman's still makes you sign if you go over $50.

I love using AP w/ my AW. Only problem is only an infintesimal number of stores I shop at are set up for NFC. The ones that do take it like Whole Foods and Walgreens I only go into occasionally. I'm not sure why most grocery stores haven't signed up yet. Payment is a real pinch point in grocery lines. You'd think they'd be jumping on it.
Give us a 4" iPhone that supports Apple Pay!!! Not everyone wants a two-handed 4.7" phablet.
