Chip Credit Cards and Readers

These are still a complete clusterfrick. Transactions take longer. Some merchants aren't set up so you're guessing what to do. Sometimes the chip readers go down.
I was told that Europe's been doing this for years and how great it is. Well, as usual, the Europeans can go suck it.

I have found it to work pretty well, actually.

I have the exact opposite opinion of them honestly

Never had a problem with my chipped cards.

I dont have an issue with it, except I really dont see the point.
And if I ever get snuck up on at an atm, I cant make a quick getaway.

They do take longer to process. However, still shorter in time than the old lady who still writes checks.

I dont mind the literal 5 extra seconds if it means better security.

Apple/google pay bypasses all of this hassle

Pain in the arse. My B of A chip doesn't work anymore, so i have to try a2nd fail 3 times before it tells me to swipe. Even when it works, it takes forever.

I just wish more places used the card in the reader that told you to swipe so you don't have to guess whether or not it works.

I just hate the guessing game of whether to swipe or do the chip.

How long till people can put a chip reader into the machine and can read your information?

Except for the nuclear bomb noise when you have to remove it.

thats really not how it works, in very basic layman's terms, it's a read/write; everytime you use the card a new encryption key is set on your card
any data a theoretical thief pulls, is just useless character strings
