I've also started seeing a few of the wireless card readers at restaurants. One restaurant owner even got excited when she saw my BoA chip card and we were both disappointed when her brand new terminal didn't accept it with the chip. She said they gave her those terminals specifically because of the upcoming switch to EMV.

I'm just curious if anyone has seen the chip readers actually turned on yet here in the states. It sounds like the changeover for us is going to be sooner rather than later...
