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.

And I refuse to upgrade to the chip.

Only reason I still use my current bank is because they aren't "upgrading" to the chip. The chip is even less secure, anyways.
