RCS has this cool service.  When you send a text, it shows a little
circle with a check mark in it. When the other party receives the text,
it shows also an overlapping little circle with a check mark. When the
other party READS the text I've sent, it shows both circles in blue.

If the recipient doesn't have RCS, there will be no way to know if
they read or not and the circles wouldn't turn blue either way.

Yes, but you will see if someone has RCS before you send the message
since using the phone number of the recipient the device can check, if
the recipient is connected to the RCS network services.

I didn't see any indication in advance or after that he didn't have RCS,

Look carefully. In the message box before you start typing, there is a
faint lettering that says RCS or SMS/MMS. RCS inside the box, sms above
the box. The colour is also slightly different.

 Everyone I texted lately had within the message box "RCS mess...", but
just now I started to text somone else and it has "Text messa...", Also,
the RCS one has a white text area on a grey background and the SMS one
has a grey text area on a white background! So it seems like the
snowplow guy does have RCS but I still have no blue circles so, it's
impossible for me to believe he didn't read my texts yet so that means
it just doesn't work perfectly . One should not be surprised, LOL .

There is another feature. Long tap on the message you sent. Then tap the three vertical dot menu on the top, and choose "details". A window pop up telling the technology used, and the timestamp: sent, received, read.
Of course, the recipient may just disable the timestamping, which is rude in this circumstance. You should write in the contract that the other parties must enable RCS with timestamping.
Then maybe he has an iphone and the implementation is lacking.
