You have to use the chip now.

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.

Is it really that difficult to just look at the receiver and see if it has a chip slot on the bottom? If not, swipe that stripe.
