I think so. Definitely not before Target, but post-Target was a huge wake up call. Ask any American today and they'll likely know about the Target breach late last year and what a security risk we are today using mag-stripe credit cards.

If I were the Waltons, I'd go out strong and promote how Walmart is ahead of the pack of everyone else with their EMV terminals. "Did you receive a new chip card? Test it out at your local Walmart and we'll give you 20% off your first chip card transaction purchase! Because we care about credit card security, while others don't." Sounds like a great way to lure more customers into Walmart over their competitors who lag behind.

I'm still in my early 30s so I say we'll get there by the time I'm in my 50s. That's how they already validate my entry into Canada (when flying into Canada) using NEXUS!
