I opened the Panera app this morning and it prompted me to add my Panera card to Google Pay. Unfortunately, the Android version of their loyalty card still doesn't have NFC (or even a barcode for that matter; the cashier would need to enter the displayed number manually if I tried to use it).

Also, I forgot to mention this but the USPS kiosks still didn't have contactless turned on when I used one to mail something yesterday. Kinda makes me wonder if those will only get it if/when the reader hardware's swapped out (much like how they went from Ingenico to Verifone for the manned counters).

It'd be one thing if my local Arby's had EMV for years (like most of the rest) but it still seems wasteful to install MX915s and then almost immediately replace them.
