I've seen stores still have a magnetic readers on their machines, but it's used for vouchers, loyalty cards etc or to scan card numbers to issue refunds. But not for payments.

I've never seen vouchers or loyalty cards handled on payment terminals here in the Netherlands, they always just have a regular bar code that the cashier scans (or that you scan yourself, at a self-checkout).

Refunds work with chip insertion or contactless.
