The Aldi that just opened is swipe-only based on what it said on the display. NCR POS though. Weirdly it said "debit card" on the pole display after I swiped, despite using a credit card.

Also, there's a Hobby Lobby next door. I walked inside and didn't notice anyone inserting (I refuse to give them money so I didn't attempt to buy anything). That said, they're on the MasterCard contactless map, plus there's also one Hobby Lobby location on emvacceptedhere.com. That very well could have been added by someone who thought seeing MX915s == EMV, however.

Finally, a Hallmark fairly close by was swipe only and required a signature on the display for a $2.50 purchase.
