Interesting. Did it also accept Apple Pay? Between west coast and northeast coast, I have never seen a Home Depot accept any kind of contactless payment, even with newly installed self checkout systems.
I think so? That's the only thing I use. It's possible that I'm not remembering correctly. FWIW I was also using the self checkout thingy.
A cursory google search suggests that most HD stores do not accept it. There are some reddit threads about individual stores gaining support. Perhaps I lived in a test market?
