The business I work for uses Square, who are rolling out EMV+NFC readers soon and are covering liability in the meantime, which is nice.

Weirdly a couple months ago my local 7-11 upgraded to readers which have the physical EMV slot but those slots are non-functional.

Most retailers started with the hardware upgrade, which generally has to be followed up by a software upgrade to enable the processing of an EMV transaction. Depending on the level of integration with the payment network, the software changes required at the Point of Sale can actually be pretty complex.
