    Many merchants taped over the card slot on their new terminals, for a piece of aesthetically questionable decoration.

Worth noting: Target rolled out a company-wide chip block for their terminals because they decided to renegotiate their rate with Visa and MasterCard after the roll-out. Apparently they felt that the devices were too shitty to use unless they, personally, got some real compensation for putting up with all the customer complaints.
