Is it possible that it's something Visa specific that required a ZIP code/verification inside?

I also tried to see if my MSD-only contactless card (Diners Club) would work but the person on shift tonight wouldn't let me attempt tapping.
So what is the point of not letting someone tap? Not giving their business money therefore not giving them a paycheck? I really really don't get certain businesses sometimes.
