Where is MCX exactly? Looks like its DOA...
Also, do people seriously not shop at CVS or rite aide because of this? grow up seriously.
EDIT: Ok that was a tad harsh, but I dont see why i would drive further and waste gas to use apple pay..

No support for Left Aid?
Where's the equality?

It's put in phone number for discounts, Tap iPhone, PIN, Donation, and Cash Back, IIRC. Most of it is actually useful things to ask at a store like Walgreens. It's not like they ask this at a coffee shop.
Use /s in future if that's the case Derekuda, there are far too many Apple haters with identical criticisms on this forum, so most people here just take what you said at face value.
EDIT: Argh, all your comments seem to be full of Apple hate, looks like it wasn't sarcasm after all guys.Of all the articles you had to post that Apple Pay was failing ...
Why do I sometimes feel like Poirot on this forum, honestly.
Because working out what is sarcasm can be a Hercule-an task.

That pun was amazing. I see somebody's been using their little grey cells.
Meh... they ask you all of that no matter how you pay... so it's not really that they've made Apple Pay less convenient they just haven't made it convenient to _pay_ at all!
I was really hoping it was sarcasm because it is so untrue. :-/Use /s in future if that's the case Derekuda, there are far too many Apple haters with identical criticisms on this forum, so most people here just take what you said at face value.

Yes, agreed and while they are at it they should close shop, flatten the new buildings and give all the money to you?
I never knew that customer loyalty depended on being able to use your phone to pay or not.
When you deal with people who are not so bright, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
I thought that was pretty bizarre...
It's not like we're at the point when you can leave your wallet home. Even with Apple Pay I find myself trying to use it and something goes wrong, I look like an idiot holding my phone over the reader. Then I reach for my wallet.
Let's be real, the only reason companies are starting to accept Apple Pay is because loyalty cards are incorporated in iOS 9, and loyalty is all retail stores care about.
I think the consensus is that your post was a failure.
From my experience you're only asked for a PIN if you're using your debit card in Apple Pay...I think all debit cards require a PIN. Otherwise it's just Touch ID and you're done.
By the way I used Apple Pay to pay a restaurant check through OpenTable the other day...absolutely brilliant. Fast, easy, painless. Can't wait until all restaurants operate this way.
Came here to say this. Apple Pay makes my life a lot easier.
"Oh ****, forgot my wallet in the car/my backpack... Oh wait, they take Apple Pay here!"
Customer loyalty depends on a store implementing payment systems that consumers want to use, not systems that the stores want you to use.
