Perhaps. The one in my neighbourhood had it enabled two weeks ago.

Also, I'm not so sure Verifone support EMV contactless with their Point software, given all merchants I've been to that use Point and contactless have MSD-only.

My local Rite Aid seems to have upgraded the register to an NCR tablet-esque thing like Whole Foods. They only have the cashier-facing unit, though, and still have the keyboard. Their PIN pads are still slow.

I was also in Whole Foods yesterday and got a glimpse of the bar's POS setup whilst walking to the salad bar. The terminal is fixed on the cashier's side and there's no customer-facing screen. I wonder if PIN would be an issue in that scenario or if they have PIN disabled.
