Apple Pay launched in the US last week, and its apparent success is already breeding contempt: With no public explanation, both CVS and Rite Aid -- huge US drugstore/pharmacy chains -- have stopped accepting Apple Pay. A leaked memo from Rite Aid says a consortium of US retailers is working on a mobile wallet solution, and thus Apple Pay was disabled so that their own solution -- called CurrentC -- will stand more of a chance when it's launched in 2015.
