One of America’s largest drugstore chains is reversing its decision regarding Apple Pay starting this week.
Rite Aid, which incurred considerable customer wrath last year when it nixed support for Apple Pay at checkout, has backpedaled. The drugstore announced that, as of next Saturday, it will again accept Apple Pay and Google Wallet. Rite Aid’s decision is bad news for CurrentC, a clunky retailer-backed rival to Apple Pay and Google Wallet that has yet to launch.
