I never purchase from Best Buy.
Their loss? Really? Do you know the volume of sales at Walmart nationwide?
Best Buy is teetering on the edge of extinction you'd figure they'd do everything they can to make their costumers er... customer happy...![]()
If Walmart, Best Buy, and the rest of these clowns have not reversed course by the next big product launch, Apple should simply allocate no stock for them and say, "When you have implementedPay, we'll stock your warehouses/stores." That conversation would be over fairly quickly.
if i were apple, i would have spent 5-10B to flood US and europe with apple payment systems. thats the only way to make walmart grovel
if not, apple payment will only remain a 'fancy thing' im afraid
Just got a new Amex card after it had been breached by some merchant recently and it has the chip. Now I just wish there was a credit account that ONLY worked with chip & pin, that it won't work anywhere else so it can't be stolen.
I'm very surprised at Best Buy being a technology retailer and reseller of Apple products to not be on board with this. For shame.
The last two times I went to Best Buy I couldn't even tell they sold Apple products at all. Most of the store was covered with Samsung Banners and Shopping Centers. I thought I was in the wrong store. The Apple Shop was literally hidden behind all the Samsung signage.
Target was featured in the keynote accepting them on the WEB shopping site, not in the store. The new readers just deployed did NOT deploy with NFC, nor is Pin & Chip active yet.My guess is once they see how successfulPay is elsewhere they will reverse this decision. I know if I only had my iPhone on me and needed to stop to get some toilet paper, pens, and carrots I would go to Target because they accept
Pay - meaning lost wallet share for Walmart.
This is what I am hearing - my customers at Target have been HAPPY ours aren't active yet because it is taking eons at WM.Walmart and Sam's Club started their new "chip and pin" system just recently --- every-single-time it is used, takes FOREVER, plus, they don't even enter in a pin, just push the card in, 3-4 times later it finally reads it, goes though the slow process of authentication, then asks if you want cash back, then another slow process to finish. Mean while if you had stripe, you'd be done in 30 seconds, Apple Pay, 5 seconds if you have a clean finger![]()
I believe Target was mentioned, or it was up on the screen.Was Target mentioned?
