Payment terminals inside a retail store do have that tamper magic.
Gas pumps are a little quirkier because they use integration modules, I would imagine they got better with newer ones but earlier ones, even with chips, would basically just be an exposed pcb on the inside
No. Most modern card terminals are tamper-resistant and will erase key material if opened.
(Besides, it's not like you're going to be able to casually crack open a payment terminal, pull out a soldering iron, and modify it while you're standing in the store checkout line.)
