I’m 2018 I went to visit my family in Australia. Only one of my US cards had a chip but I called and got a different card to send me a chip version so I’d have two.
Got home, tried to buy a coffee and the bloke behind the counter called out to a colleague “hey, do we still have a way to pay with a chip?”
(Of course most places did, but it was on its way out)
