Q: Apple Pay not working after 8.1.3 update

After RiteAid (CVS as well) noticed customers using Apple Pay, they deliberately disabled the NFC sensors on their credit card machines. This affects Android phones using Google Wallet as well.

I am guessing by default or what have you, then payment console was expecting a debit card purchase. The clerk changed it to credit, then I used Apple Pay and it went through fine. This was at Nugget Grocery where I had trouble the last time. So looks like, depending on the store, I have to indicate that it's a credit payment if they are having any problems taking the payment.
