Well I was on Twitter today and I found this: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CE2J45pWgAAz_Md.jpg If so then I'm so exicited to use it and it even shows both Apple Pay and Google Wallet!!!
I'm not sure but the tweet is here: https://twitter.com/digdog/status/594300524201005056 Also last time I went to TJ's it looked like this: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/38348368/0425151645.jpg and NFC was turned off. I will be making my way to a Trader Joe's soon for sure.
I found a picture that said Apple Pay was coming on May 11th, so I think it must have just been enabled two days ago. https://instagram.com/p/2jAD6CtNaN/
pay and they said there weren't any as of now. So looks like it's definitely regional and a slow rollout for now.I have changed Trader Joe's to reflect your experience. I'm not so sure the os is older, as the background is the same and the same Trader Joe's is on there, but it just shows more stuff on the screen. The default theme must be a placeholder for a future changes, and I'm sure my local Trader Joe's probably won't have it either, guess I'll see tomorrow. Has anyone used this app to find Apple Pay places: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ispeakr-stocks/id942307294?ls=1&mt=8 ?
Its the same here sadly, only seems like a limited rollout, as the MX925 only showed "Please swipe your card at any time" instead of the Apple Pay, Google Wallet and Contactless logo, but the theme is exactly the same otherwise. https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1882728/ and http://forums.appleinsider.com/t/186285/trader-joes-grocery-chain-preparing-to-accept-apple-pay Although someome said company wide May 20th, but they may be a troll, I guess I can keep checking each week until it is on. Also the cashier said that they were going to get EMV by like August, but I'm sure Contactless will be turned on first company wide way before that happens. Also Natural Grocers is still accepting Contactless, both Apple Pay and Google Wallet. EDIT: I just found this video of Apple Pay at Smith's who is owned by Kroger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9MdaOFzl0U So that is what the MX915's would look like if Kroger would offically support Contactless company wide.I just asked the Trader Joe's by me (which still has ancient looking terminals with no NFC/chip support) if they had any plans to install new ones or implement
added Fresh Thyme to OP
They added NFC readers to the terminals near me and I used it today...nice to see this being adopted at so many grocery stores - Kroger has the mx815/915s, but doesn't seem to have NFC enabled. I didn't see any "Use Apple Pay/Google Wallet/Soft Card" signage like some places that have added NFC more recently, but I'm not complaining.
Wow quite a nice theme, is that an old NCR self checkout machine though? Around here we have No Frills & Bag N Save who replaced their whole machines with brand new Toshiba pos and self checkout machines: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/38348368/0416152110.jpg I went to Sun Mart who has the same owners as No Frills and they have recently acquired brand new MX925's that only said "Please Slide Card." with a white background, but NFC was still enabled, so I added them to the list, although I think names like No Frills, Bag N Save and Sun Mart will all become Family Fare at some point in the near future, so as that happens I will remove those names accordingly. EDIT only certain stores are changing to Family Fares, so that won't be need to be done.

Hey that would be cool if you did that! So I've seen Cub Foods on the Mastercard Contactless Locactor for a few months at least. They use these https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/38348368/0502151705.jpg correct? That is the MX915 and its default behavior is to do contactless transactions. The one in the picture is at Natural Grocers and it actually shows four dots if it attempts to read a contactless phone/card and it fails to work the first time it shows those four dots instead of a MX870 like in the picture. Otherwise it won't show it for more than a few seconds and most people will probably miss it.For those of you in Minnesota like myself, Cub Foods is apparently going to offer Apple Pay support. The terminals at my location apparently have NFC in them since a customer came in last night and used his iPhone to pay for his groceries.
He demonstrated by putting his phone close to the terminal and his cards came up on the screen, then I selected Credit on my screen to complete the transaction. I was quite surprised to say the least because there are no stickers or anything showing an NFC or Apple Pay logo.
There are also manuals in the registers that say something about Apple Pay, so I will be snapping up photos while I'm working tonight to show what I mean.
