The reality in Europe is that I had recently needed to stop visiting one particular restaurant where their terminal was not working with my card. Both terminal and card from the same country. Neither contactless or entering the card worked. Never had that experience ever since, or before that. Both the terminal and the card worked, separately, just not together, at the same time.
