Home Depot checkout person flips the card and enters the CVV2 in to the terminal.

Wasn't Target mid 2014? Then late 2014? Then early 2015? Now it's mid 2015? I'll believe it when I see it. Ditto for Home Depot. There's no excuse for the retailers that have had breaches to be dragging their feet with EMV.
