credit card chips have been almost a faliure in the US. I say almost, because they have worked, but it's often a headache for companies, as registers always have issues with them

Agree.

The same continues to happen In my locality. Just the other week, after repeated failure using the chip, one guy at the register was sifting through his cards to locate one with a normal swipe. I still use the latter with hardly any Issues.
