In Canada we have had them for a few years, but still not all places utilize the pin. Chevron gas station for one all have the pin reader but have the card slot blocked so u have to swipe. And if it errors on the chip read u can swipe anyways. One annoying thing when it first came out and restaurants adopted chip readers. Many didn't have GPRS/wireless card readers. There was always a huge line to pay and u had to goto the bar or front desk to pay, no giving them the card and they bring u back a cheque. Most places do have wireless readers now. I like the paypass where u just tap your card but for some reason some places don't have it working
