Apple Pay launched for a week now in the US, Apple has several partners, but some are still reluctant to use the new payment system without contact. This is the case of Rite Aid, a drugstore chain present in the United States. She stopped its payment system via NFC, blocking transactions via Apple Pay or Google Wallet, a more or less equivalent Google service. Not surprisingly, users have expressed dissatisfaction. Officially, Rite Aid was not an Apple partner, but the NFC terminal still working with Apple Pay.
The pharmacy chain was followed by another CVS. And there is more than important given that CVS is the second largest pharmacy chain in the US soil. User dissatisfaction has not missed, you can read a lot on the US forums.
The reason for stopping the Apple support may be explained. A joint venture was established under the name Merchant Customer Exchange, the two chains of pharmacies are part of this joint venture. It plans to launch its own payment system called CurrentC. Both CVS Rite Aid certainly does not seek to praise Apple Pay to highlight their expected for 2015.
Apple will have to negotiate with more and more merchants to offer Apple Pay as a way of payment to customers. Walgreens, the first pharmacy chain in the United States, is a partner of Apple, it offers Apple Pay to its customers. Lot of US users have also decided to go to Walgreens in the future and avoid CVS, like Rite Aid.
