Asked to use Apple Pay at Subway. Cashier Baffled.

Not with Subway. They have terminals with no overt NFC capability and no markings, which are - in my experience - out of normal customer reach on the other side of the counter, facing the cashier.

If you want to pay with Apple Pay, just tell the cashier you want to pay with Credit. They hit a button on the register screen that activates the terminal, and the NFC logo will appear. TouchID and done.

I went to Subway this weekend and the cashier asked me if I wanted to pay with my phone. He said he had never seen it before. It worked! I was relieved.

They use to scratch their hair and noses and then start grabbing for my Debit Card. I get a disgusted look on my face because I have an animated face and I'm totally readable that way.

I don't think the OP even reads our replies, he still doesn't know how to use Apple Pay..

The OP doesnt know the difference between night and day, reading his threads I cant believe he can even dress him/herself

Do you regularly eat at places like McD and Subway? Or did you just venture over there to flaunt your techie superiority by stumping a bunch of low wage fast food workers?

I don't think a iPhone is a display of techie superiority, or superiority at all.

But, trying to use a new feature from a new iPhone model, and then acting all incredulous when the worker doesn't know anything about it certain qualifies.

I know where I can use it and I do. I keep it moving.

I agree with that. The people who run home and start a thread about these so-called failures are hilarious. I'll venture a guess and say that they have been buying crap for years using a regular old card. Suddenly it is so ****ing inconvenient that they can't believe that a week into a new function of an iPhone more folks aren't on board.

And incredulous, what a wonderful word!

I'm surprised that paying via NFC is apparently so baffling. Its been happening for years; people paying with their phones.... it's pretty standard, not like apple actually did anything terrifically monumental.

Apparently it happened so infrequently as to be essentially nonexistent based on the conversations I have had with cashiers thus far. Many had no idea that NFC was even a thing until Apple Pay. "Wow, I had no idea we could do that.." sort of thing.
