I added some gas in Frenchglen, Oregon. Population 11. You went into the store, told the clerk (owner in this case, I'm sure) that you wanted gas, she turned on the pump, then you took a photo with your phone and took it back to her so she could charge you. $6.75/gallon, which was about $2 more than in Burns (population 2766).
She didn't have any problem taking a chipped card but I imagine there are self-serve places that can't. It was only in 2018 that Oregon allowed self-serve in counties with less than 40,000 people. 17 of the 36 counties qualify.
The advice I've seen with credit cards seems to be "always tap if you can" since that's not subject to skimming or stealing a PIN.
