Used Apple Pay at the self-checkout in my local Home Depot in Tacoma, WA. The payment terminal didn't have the NFC symbol. But after I chose Debit/Credit on the large screen that shows what I'm buying, the symbol then appeared on the payment terminal screen. I brought my iPhone close to the payment terminal and Apple Pay came up. I placed my thumb on the home button, got the green check, and green lights on the terminal flashed.
However, I still had to sign on the screen. It's probably just the logic of the software for any credit card transaction over a certain amount.
