Just want to point out the video is two years old. In my suburban area, chip readers have become the norm, although not quite universal. All the cards in my wallet are chipped. I don’t think this would be nearly as lucrative a scheme today as it might have been even two years ago.
Maybe it’s not for everyone, but in our household we simply eschew debit cards, since credit cards (in the US, by law) offer users far more financial protection. This is a pity because debit cards are, in theory, so smart.
