Yes. Granted that the walmart or other store you are visiting has an operational EMV chip terminal. (for the US thus far it seems to be limited to SOME walmarts) you have to be able to use the chip for the transaction and not the Mag stripe, otherwise it won't work
Under most circumstances with live CSR you will only be asked for a signature or the transaction may just be approved without any CVM needed. Whatever the case may be it is at this time the pin information is updated on the chip (completely automatically and unnoticeable to the cardmember or store clerk)
