CVS also disabling support for Apple Pay

Last night, I was with a friend at CVS who was trying to pay for some items with Apple Pay. Oddly, the transaction couldn't be processed. This struck us as strange because Twitter had been abuzz with Apple Pay users indicating that the service has been working swimmingly at CVS. Next, we tried a contactless credit card. Surprisingly, that form of payment couldn't be processed either.

The CVS employee there was confused, remarking to us, "That's strange, the machine was working fine yesterday."

While I was hoping that this was just a lone case of a malfunctioning POS machine, it appears that CVS is starting to shut off NFC functionality across its stores, effectively locking out mobile payment platforms like Apple Pay and Google Wallet in the process.

While Apple Pay users up until now have been able to use the service to purchase items at CVS, a growing number of Twitter users are noting that such payments don't work anymore.
