Hopefully this isn't a no turning back switch, and once chip cards are used the stores will feel confident in going back to allowing CC.
Terminology that I was told was "rampant fraud". Recently, two other chains in my area completely pulled variable VGCs off the shelves (Hannaford and Shaws), so I have to assume the fraud just shifted. When I asked Shaws about the missing VGCs, I was given the same line about lots of fraud with those cards.
