That's actually true! I totally forgot about my most recent Square/Clover experience...it's been months since I paid on those. Thank you for reminding me. I wonder how does it work in the back at the bank level, why are those OK vs like a Wholefoods or corner-store...

I think it’s configurable at the store. I’ve noticed a lot of transactions that ask for my pin usually say “please enter your pin or press here to skip,” save for 7-eleven (that’s like the only place where I actually have to enter it). PIN entry likely reduces liability, and I believe it’s significantly harder to chargeback for fraud.
