I tend to use it when possible. Aside from cashiers at Whole Foods, I have gotten a surprised reaction of "I didn't know you could do that!" from most of the places that I've used it. Only Game Stop asked for ID to go along with the Apple Pay. I tend to think that an additional id is not really necessary.

Not only is it unnecessary, but you should object. The entire point of Apple Pay is that it is both very secure and completely anonymous. The retailer doesn't need to know your identity and track your purchases. No information about you is passed to the retailer during an Apple Pay transaction: not your name, not your account number, not the type of card you are using. Nothing. Which is how it should be. The retailer is assured that you are the valid account holder by the fact that Apple Pay can't work without a validated iPhone present, which the user has unlocked with either a security code or a fingerprint. Stolen iPhones are accounted for by the fact that such phones can be easily and instantly disabled or bricked by the user.
