I have been paying with contactless from my AppleWatch nearly everywhere I go for many years in the US. I think my pharmacy was the last normal retailer to get it (they had been dragging their fear), and even many of the gas pumps around me got contactless 2-3 years ago. Even many restaurants seem to support it these days. The only time I don’t try to use it is for large purchases because I’m not sure what transaction size limits my cards have for contactless. I also don’t at fast food drive throughs because I’ve never seen a good solution at one. The poor person at the window always seems to have to hold a terminal out, possibly on some stick. And it seems like more trouble than it’s worth. Practically every terminal that was installed to be able to support EMV many years ago had contactless support. Some places were jerks about turning it on, but it’s really really common for it to work even if they don’t have signs advertising it.
