I asked "Are you sure that doesn't work?" and the cashier mentioned something about that terminal not working right. I just swiped instead (EMV wasn't enabled). I guess they're not fully setup everywhere yet.
I would have just tried anyway. The cashier probably wasn't informed of the state of the terminal.

Runza with Ingenico ICT250's only do have EMV Contact and Contactless enabled, as I used it at one today and it worked pretty fast, no PAX S300 pinpads at all though. AID printed on the receipt and the cashier thought that it was weird when I paid with my phone :P So this morning I tried my Android Pay Visa Paywave card at a Sinclair which did not work before and it declined just like the Bancorp MasterCard, how strange. But the cashier was like it would probably work after January 12th when they are getting a pos upgrade. From the original Ruby Super System to a Ruby2 or RubyCI.
I see "not supported" when I try to use my chipped card at Pret A Manger USA, so that message is likely EMV-related. They're using the VX 820 as well, but use an Ingenico terminal in the UK.
As far as gas stations are concerned, my Visa in Apple Pay was declined in the shop at a Shell in Maryland. I can see the transaction in Wallet, merchant name, amount and everything, only with an exclamation mark and "DECLINED" underneath.
