I expected to have to insert my card at most places starting in
October but so far, only Trader Joe's and one other place, a tiny
nursery/local honey/gift store.

The rest of my usual places, I'd get a confused look from the cashier
if I asked if I was supposed to put my card in the slot or swipe it.
Oh, we're not ready for that yet. Why is the slot lit up if it's not
operational? got me, I don't bother asking them that.

All my cards have had chips for some time now.
