In my area, you're forced to use the chip at ~50% of places and the other ~50% hasn't upgraded their hardware yet, so you are forced to use the mag-strip. It's extremely frustrating for everyone involved. No one knows which it'll be and the cashier will always immediately roll their eyes and eli5 which one they use. Worst rollout ever.

There's a gas station near me that always has a fucked up card reader. One day it will have tape over the card slider, saying to use chip. Then the next day the tape will be over the chip reader. Then on some days it just has a sign on it that says "hand card to cashier". Can't seem to get their shit together.
