Yep, Kroger and Home Depot are the biggest stores I've been to recently that don't take tap-to-pay, but there are some other national chains.
Also recently: my neighborhood florist, doughnut shop, parking garage, and hamburger stand don't take tap-to-pay. I've never been to a gas pump that does, though they all have the logo for it on the front. Every time I've inquired, the people inside say it's not enabled.
Record stores are about 50%. The one I went to most recently, I had to show them how to do it.
But interestingly, my shoeshine guy does take tap-to-pay.
I always keep at least one backup card and some cash in my wallet. I recently had to make an emergency trip to the Walgreens at 5am, and its credit card/tap system was down. It was cash-only for about a week. Glad I had cash backup so my family member's health wasn't held hostage by a technology glitch.
