Whole Foods - They seem pretty used to seeing it.
Jamba Juice - Cashier was suprised to see a watch used.

Edit: I've tried at Subway, but they ONLY take it from the iPhone, not the watch. In fact, we crashed their register trrying to get the watch to work. I was told by the cashier that the current register units don't work with the watch and that updated models are expected soon.

Oh, we have a Rubio's nearby that I sometimes eat at. I'll have to walk over and have fish tacos tomorrow.
 
I use it everywhere. You would struggle to find somewhere in London that doesn't have contactless. Even my local 'mom n pop' corner shop has it.
 
Local grocery store Cub Foods. That's the only way I pay there now. I keep trying it everytime I go to Home Depot but they still haven't reactivated and nobody seems to have any clue about it when I ask, though I've never asked a manager. Most people just don't know anything about contactless payments or "paying with your phone".

Tried using it at Panera Bread and Babies R Us but couldn't get the Watch to register. I successfully use my iPhone, though. I just think there's a single point on the credit card reader's screen where the watch needs to be in order to read the NFC and I can't find it, and instead of slowing down the line I just grab my phone and it reads just fine.
 
I was traveling for the good part of the day and I went way too long without food. We had an hour to blow at a train station but all they had there were vending machines that only accepted coins or singles (I had neither). I was SOOOO happy when I realized I could use my watch to pay for snacks!!! It worked incredibly well. :)
 
Do some places still make you sign?

Gas stations would be great in the future.

Pharmacies would be a big deal if it went beyond paying and you could sign for the Rx with your device and not have to use those digital pens everyone sick has used. :)
 
Waitrose, Marks and Spencer, Mission Burrito, Pret A Manger, Boots, and Costa Coffee so far.

Most shops seem to have contactless support so there're not many places where I've payed with chip and PIN lately. I don't have a contactless debit card so Apple Pay is much easier to use.
 
I use it regularly at Walgreens, Petco, Subway, and my local grocery store and occasionally at McDonalds. Tried it at a couple stores in a mall with contactless terminals but the clerks said "that doesn't work" (and they were right).
 
In the UK

Waitrose and Lidl (supermarkets)
Lolly - Lou (hairdressers)
Local pub - I wanted to see if it would work, it did, and so I ended up paying for the drinks instead of my husband!
