You're putting Chipotle on multiple credit cards?
Even if so customers could still swipe if they wanted to.
A lot of places force the chip if the chip is on your card.
Stores are held responsible for 100% of the loses someone takes if their data is stolen by means not regarding the chip. Unless this hasn't passed yet, can't remember.

When you need burritos, you tend to max out a few cards.

Most everywhere that has switched to chip disables swipe for chipped cards.
Obviously that still hurts people with old swipe only cards but at least that isnt AS bad especially with the recent huge push for chip by the CC companies.
That thing takes so much longer and is so much more finicky, it's not difficult to imagine why.
Right, but I'm sure plenty of customers haven't upgraded to chip cards. And that's on the card issuer for not forcing that.

I haven't been to one of these since right before that E.Coli outbreak from I think last year...guess I'm done with them period.

I was affected by this... 90% sure.
Yay, I'm affected. Haven't seen anything weird on my credit card yet, and I just got a new card a few months ago (before this timeframe) due to someone from Russia attempting a charge. I'll just keep watching my card as usual.
Also, fuck them for not getting into the 21st century and not using chip. Biting them in the ass.

Chip readers are not standard yet. Most places have still have swipers or both.
CC companies need to stop putting stripes on cards and just go with chips if they really want to push security ASAP.
Doesn't mean people don't try to swipe their cards.

Glad there are plenty of real authentic Mexican spots I can hit up(Where Quac isn't fucking extra) , and not step foot in those stores again.

my debit card (from a local credit union) doesn't have a chip yet.
my local store was hit, but luckily I paid with cash the one time I ordered chipotle this year.
The chip reader sucks, it's slow as fuck and my worst enemy on mornings when I'm running late for work but need to grab a coffee.

Same. I know what it's like living in an area with nothing but chain places though.
Do not live in rural Indiana.

I see people complain about the chip. Yeah it takes 10 seconds longer, but I'd gladly wait if it means my transaction is more secure. It should be standard.

Most CC companies will just block the unauthorized charges and send you a new card #.
It's a pain to change all your CC info on all your auto-pay accounts, but at least it's better than having to pay for some some illegal foreign transaction you have nothing to do with.

I hate when they have chip on the machine but its disabled. I wish every store had it working along with offering mobile pay.
Things like this are one of the reasons everyone should use an actual credit card. They come with buyer protections, better fraud alerts, often qualify you for free or cheap credit reporting services, and of course offer some sort of rewards/cash back.
Use 2-3 credit cards that all auto-pay out of your back account. Watch your credit score go up, rack up rewards, and stop worrying too much about fraud.
Yup, I have absolutely no idea why people still use debit except at places like Costco that only take certain brands of cards.

The malware known as Chipotle. It infects your wallet and your stomach.
Chip readers still have a mag stripe reader incase the chip is faulty
I've never seen them use the chip at Chipotle.

It's amazing how often the words "Chipotle" and "infected" come up in the same headline these days

or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Realize This Assgrab is Delicious
Blew my mind that I had to sign for my credit card when I went to the states last month. We haven't had that in Canada for well over half a decade.
Even weirder was that it was half high tech, because I "signed" on a tablet. That's like some alternate universe tech to me, because tablets and signing for credit cards didn't overlap in the same time period here. It'd be like using Morse code to communicate on an iPhone.

Might as well look for a good retirement homes while I wait!
