Yes he does. They want you to use their app to pay everytime you enter the store.

And store my actual credit card info on their servers? no thank you. Besides, that response just shows that they really have no reason to refuse to accept contactless other than them being stubborn on wanting people to use their app, which is far from a good reason.

The problem is that Zelle is only for person to person transfers. FedNow, if it’s anything like what has existed for years in the rest of the world, likely also allows instant transfers to/from business bank accounts, which companies will prefer to use over ach which takes 1-3 days. That will prevent FedNow from failing completely.
Zelle works for business accounts at some banks (like Chase), but only if the person sending you money is using a bank that natively supports Zelle within their own app (IOW, can’t use the Zelle app with a debit card).

If a supermarket in the UK didn’t accept contactless payments like Apple Pay (they all do), I wouldn’t bother going there. Still boggles my mind a country like America has retailers this far behind.

It is a common thought that all businesses in developed countries accept card payments.

Some businesses in other developed countries, if you do not include the USA, do not like to accept card payments but accept only cash payment.

This is common in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, and Japan. In these developed countries, there are businesses that accept only cash payment. These businesses decided not to accept card payments.

FTFY.
