The on-screen dots show up, but the pin pads don’t actually have NFC turned on since my phone did not pop up the wallet when held up to the screen, and even when I tried to use Apple Pay to test it, no response. I rebooted every pin pad in that store and none of them would work. Someone in the software dept. screwed this one up very badly.

I’ve escalated this as a division-wide issue to the Safeway POS engineering department. Fingers crossed that they’ll at least roll it back.
At least there's enough contactless use for someone to notice and put in tickets when it's not working? Trying to be positive here. ^
