Given the issues I had, I wonder if contactless actually works properly at Waffle House or if they even use that device anymore for that matter.
I used the weird Waffle House device here in Mesa, AZ with my Apple Card via Apple Pay, and it worked just fine. Probably an error in configuring the merchant account, or the merchant account for whatever reason still doesn't support contactless......you'd honestly be surprised.
