I think there are also just lots of POS systems in the US that aren't on EMV yet. Major retailers are on EMV but random old rural businesses probably aren't.

Some big chains still haven't switched.

I was in a major home improvement store a few weeks ago, and it was swipe-only. Either Home Depot or Lowe's.

Lowe's. Lord help the poor souls who maintain that system; it looks like the kind of thing that's just chock full of COBOL.

Plus lots of cards without EMV at all, usually gift cards or until recently EBT.
