    Actually, I would assume this will include the other 5 chains that share infrastructure with Safeway, including Carrs-Safeway in Alaska, Pavilions and Vons in Southern California and Nevada, and Tom Thumb and Randall's in Texas.  Safeway has changed over the other chains they own to the Safeway brand so it now stretches coast-to-coast (they used to have about 12 different store names)

    I don't believe Albertsons is sharing their infrastructure with Safeway yet (they own Safeway) so it's unknown if they will go along with this change.  Would be nice, though.
    Might be different systems. Albertsons itself has been on the Apple Pay list for some time.
    Albertsons used to support Apple Pay, but about 3 months ago they switch there POS to the VONS/Safeway POS and stopped accepting Apple Pay. 

    Hopefully this means it is coming back. Apple Pay is so much easier then the chip, in my opinion.
