I think about half the coffee shops in Seattle take Square.

It is SUPER ubiquitous when you go to a comic book convention; anyone who is at all serious about sitting behind a table selling their comics will have a Square reader. I'm one of those people, and we LOVE Square because it's made it a lot easier to make a sale.

When I go to the local farmer's market, a lot of the people there use Square as well. There's a fair number of clunky single-purpose credit card devices, and some other credit card acceptance methods that work much like Square, but over the past year or two I've seen people mostly shifting to Square.

Note that the two classes of itinerant merchants I cite usually don't work with Wallet; that requires having a fairly permanent place of doing business.
