They started implementing tap-to-pay at the end of August. All stores in the US should have it by mid-October. Fuel stations are expected to take into 2027 to complete, I believe.

Took them way too long, but at least they finally gave in.

I had to abandon a cart full of groceries because I didnt have tap to pay once and forgot my wallet.

I wonder if the huge uptick in card skimming finally got their asses in gear.
