Yep, my apologies I should've been a bit more clear - a lot of stores during the pandemic put up signs saying that they preferred for you to use tap-to-pay as a preventative / safety measure, and this store is one of them.
Of course, even during the peak point of the pandemic that prompt was still there, and is still there... and due to the medication that I'm on I am somewhat immunocompromised so I would prefer to not have to touch the screen since everyone who pays using anything that isn't cash has to also touch the display.
Ah then yeah that kinda silly. They should at least have a cashier override for that prompt if they are going to brag about not having to touch it.
