I work at a big box hardware store and our Halloween stuff has been on clearance for like a week maybe two at this point. Christmas has been up since the beginning of this month or the end of last month but the big box across the way apparently had their Christmas set up in August.
So home Depot actually had contactless payment for a while like a decade ago but when they switched to new card terminals they got rid of it. No clue why it disappeared but probably a money thing.
