Well YMMV, of course, but here in Vietnam I've had to go around the other side of the checkout to type in my pin because the terminal was bolted to the desk. Multiple times. And then they still make me sign two receipts anyways.
- jacquesm 12y agoI suspect that the 'Vietnam' factor may be a larger one than the chip-and-pin factor. https://www.pacnetservices.com/wpg/country.php?alpha2=VN https://www.pacnetservices.com/wpg/country.php?alpha2=VN Has a pretty explicit note that Vietnam is still primarily a cash based society, I think that is where your problems stem from, not necessarily from the technological merits or lack thereof of chip&pin.
