Worth a shot I suppose. I’ve seen some merchants to be already live on the Chip & PIN terminals. For example, there’s a 7-Eleven near one of the lower scale hotels at LAX where the guys working there already know how to accept payments with Chip & PIN credit cards. They’ve gotten used to it when tourists were inserting their chipped cards into the slot and entering their PIN instead of swiping them.

There was even a trainee there who was being taught by another employee saying “you’re lucky you’re working at a 7-Eleven near the airport; you’re getting the first hand training on how to accept the newer cards that tourists have.”
