VISA and MC partnered with Apple on ApplePay. LMAO! It's not about cost. It's about companies getting your personal data.

Are you already dead? Do you reside in the grave next to Steve's? Do you share deep personal relations with Steve? How do you know what he would and wouldn't be ashamed of?
Your posts and drivel is dripping in the proverbial crock s***...
Boy this all sounds like iPhone 6 users are mad that they can't use a feature on their phone. If u had an iPhone 5 would you complain this much? Be honest with yourself.
No you don't get it. No one said anything about the world stopping.
It's about the money stopping...
People have thrown down their gauntlet and will stop shopping and I think this will stick. People who don't care that much will continue shopping as normal and the people who do will adjust their shopping habits. When every company is after your dollars people have options to shop at NFC enabled places.

It's not only about iPhone 6 users - its also stops Google Wallet and any other service that can use NFC technology..
No I get it.. money isn't stopping. People will continue to use credit cards. Only NFC users will throw an tantrum while adults will just use another form of payment and go about their day .
They need to keep telling themselves its just about ApplePay so they can justify their lousy arguments.
Sure.. but we are in an apple forum and most users complaining are iPhone users.
The banks who participate in Apple Pay. They cover the cut in the potentially reduced fraud charges.
Actually, as an adult, I'm making a conscientious decision to support merchants I feel offer better service and give those merchants my money. It's not a tantrum at all, it's a completely rational approach. It's worth it for me to go to Walgreens where I know I can use a more secure payment method, so that's what I'll do. The only effective way to voice displeasure with a business is to not give them your money.
You will be surprised how many people who troll here are not 'Apple' users.....
As this is an Apple forum, as you state, it is obvious people will complain about not being able to use Apple Pay... You won't have Android members coming on here complaining about Google Wallet... I suspect Google Wallet users are moaning about this exact same thing in their own forums....
The point is not whether you have 3gs, or 4 or 4s or 5 or 5s or any other iPhone which may or may not be able to use Apple Pay. The point is if there is a safe and secure technology available to use right now, why would you switch it off?? Even if only few million people can use it out of hundreds of millions, why would you switch off?
Instead of being annoyed at the companies who are depriving people to pay with their Apple Pay or Google Wallet or whatever else, there seems to be a lot of anger spewed at Apple users.. Doesn't make sense.
The money will stop flowing from people who want to use NFC for payments if they insist on it and it's their right to insist on it. That's the bottom line.
Adults have control of what their money is doing and how it is being spent and what forms of payment they want to use. Adults care about their money and their security and their information.
Children get angry and worked up when other consumers exercise their right to avoid businesses that don't accept the form of payment those other consumers want to use.
What I am saying is you shouldn't care so much about other people who don't want to shop at non NFC payment enabled drug stores. That's their right. Going around and getting angry at other people exercising their right to spend their money how they see fit is silly. Its not even your place. When you start paying their bills you can have a say about what other people are doing with their money and how they chose to spend it.

Don't quit ur day job.. not angry at all.. the only anger here is the people boycotting a business that changed their mind on NFC payments.

No one is angry. End of day money is spent on the purchase of goods. You really think most people care about how its paid? if they did you would see massive protests outside cvs. Its really simple, select another payment type and move on. No need to create movement becuz a store took away NFC payments .

I think you should calm down, you're obviously angry.
Why should be the customer to adapt to the store's whims? They're free not to support Apple Pay and I as customer am free to just as easily select a different store which supports the payment type I like.
If you have forgotten or didn't read the post you originally responded to then don't worry about it.
