Which gets me thinking. How on earth do you do a "hands-on" training to cashiers when cashiers, let alone supervisors or the store managers themselves, probably do not have an EMV chipped card to test it out?

They really need to make a how-to Youtube video or something to show to cashiers that "this is what you do when you come across a card with an EMV chip on it."

Japan OTOH, was smart enough to make terminals that display text as well as speak out instructions to the cashier and the cardholder.
