Hello Christina, You can Google a list of brick & mortar stores now accepting Apple Pay.
Also, somewhere from within the Passbook app, you can bring up a list of supported apps that also support Apple Pay. The list of supported brick & mortar stores is growing. I have discovered that in some places, such as the MacDonald's fast food restaurant chain, many of the employees have no idea that they can, in fact, accept Apple Pay. In other instances, say for example at Radio Shack, only one of the terminals may have been setup for Apple Pay. So, I suggest that you first Google a list of stores accepting Apple Pay; second, when you arrive at the store, find out from one of the employees if you can actually use Apple Pay before you begin your transaction.

Do you just have to try and see if it works? I’ve been curious, as a blind person, how can I know if a particular machine will work with apple pay? Do I just randomly wave my phone over machines and hope for the best. LOL! Thanks, Christina > On Feb 2, 2015, at 10:42 PM, M.
