U.S. retail giant Target may be planning to accept Apple Pay (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-pay/) in the future, according to a recent tweet (https://twitter.com/AskTarget/status/830864855334866944) spotted by 9to5Mac (https://9to5mac.com/2017/02/12/target-apple-pay-support/).

AskTarget, the retailer's verified customer service account on Twitter, said Apple pay is "awesome" and that Target is "working on getting this tech**logy into our stores." It even quipped "we'll catch up with the 21st century soon!"
@_MAlN (https://twitter.com/_MAlN) - Apple pay is awesome! We're working on getting this Tech**logy into our stores. We'll catch up with the 21st century soon!

While the tweet originates from an official Target account, it is possible that a customer service representative tweeted inaccurate information.
In May 2015, Target CEO Brian Cornell said the retailer would be "open-minded" (https://www.macrumors.com/2015/05/27/target-apple-pay-coming-eventually/) about supporting additional payment systems like Apple Pay after implementing chip-and-PIN card support. Target began supporting chip-and-PIN cards in October 2015, but it has yet to support Apple Pay.
Last month, Target confirmed it plans to launch its own mobile payment service (http://www.reuters.com/article/us-target-payment-idUSKBN1582JK) in its stores this year. An earlier report said the retailer was leaning towards using QR code tech**logy (https://www.macrumors.com/2015/12/18/target-mobile-wallet-qr-code-**-apple-pay/) for the wallet app, rather than NFC, enabling customers to purchase goods by scanning a code at checkout akin to Walmart Pay (https://www.macrumors.com/2015/12/10/walmart-pay-for-ios-android-an**uncement/).
