    Current C appeals to me, only in that it's an alternative to ?Pay which none of my current devices support. I'm not worried about how secure it is, since it's unlikely to be less secure than the credit cards I'm currently using. I would imagine that anyone who is currently in the same boat, and realizes the convenience of wireless payments would also be interested. And I for one am not interested in ever taking a payday loan. Obviously Current C is dead end technology, but I'm all for other options than ?Pay. Competition is healthy.

    Despite your pro-CurrenctC and anti-ApplePay comments the real red flag is your "completion is healthy" comment as an argument for hating Apple. How about telling us how much stuff you buy from Apple?¡

    I hate drug store period. Apple Pay or not I'll avoid them if at all possible. Just say no to drugs, big pharma is your enemy

    Can you expand on this?

    He doesn't need to brag on all his Apple devices--his name assures us he has been buying Macs since 1984...

    Keep them coming. More places for me to use ?Pay at.

    I hope RiteAid doesn't ruin the experience by requiring me to press a bunch of buttons (credit? Debit?) and sign after I use my phone or watch. Staples has done that and it defeats the purpose of a quick, convenient payment.

    non sequitur. the very fact that it's being produced by a new committee comprised of retailers is enough reason to believe it will be less secure than your credit cards, which are produced by decades-old, established financial companies. and if it does indeed use your bank account number? fuhgetabutit, certainly less secure...by design.
    I'm all for other options than ?Pay.

    Imagine that.

    I'm one.  CVS chose to take away my preferred payment choice so I chose to take away my business.  Besides our families prescriptions we had been spending hundreds there on non-prescription products.  I actually liked the CVS store and the staff but I found I like Walgreens just as well and they are, in fact, quite a bit less costly.  So whether CVS returns to Apple Pay or not, I'm gone.

    Well, that's good.. a little late though, as they already lost me to Walgreens when they blocked it last year.
