Supermarket Chain Publix Says It's Rolling Out Apple Pay Support All Stores [Update: No]

excellent

edit: this is stupid

Then four months later when "Publix pay" fails they roll out unbranded support for Apple and Google Pay. *cough cough, target*

Science Rules!

Hahaha how pathetic. Even they don’t know their own payment system which obviously no one will use.

If Publix is really holding out and blocking acceptance of Apple and Google Pay NFC options? Then fine. Take the family 'shopping' one day at a busy market... load up two carts (big family, right?) and dump it all at the check out counter(s). Make sure to get lots of Ice Cream for that gathering later!
After it is all counted and bagged... hold out your phone up to the Terminal Pad, "Hey... why isn't this working?? Come on!" As the cashier sheepishly explains that the terminals are only for Credit Cards.... throw up your hands and sigh, "Well all I have are these NFC options as they work everywhere I go! Come on, family.....let's go to Aldi's across the street." The dejected group all sigh together and walk out of the store... leaving the piles of picnic groceries behind.

That's what you call a D*** move.
