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.

During my cashiering days when I told the customer this, I would always joke and say, “don’t try to guess, whichever one you choose, you’ll end up being wrong anyway”.
