Walmart just processes cards slowly even with just swiping. Not sure why. Meanwhile, chip at Home Depot has always been fairly fast. It just sucks that they seemingly don't support PIN and makes you sign for a $2 purchase.
One place that processed chip really slowly was a taco shop by my work. Their chip terminal was only connected by phone line while their magstripe only one was connected via Ethernet. So of course, they inserted into the chip reader and it took 30+ seconds for it to dial out. 
Yeah, found that out too! 
On the good side, it dings to let you know not to forget your card!

hopefully we get used to it and it gets faster because 20 seconds just to pay is semi ridiculous lol@Anonymous here I think that it was fast the old fashioned way, before debit cards and bar code scanners. You prayed to get a good "Cash Register Lady". If she was good, you could get checked out fast with her key-punching all the values manually. I would pray that every can of soup had a price sticker our my entire day was shot. It would take several minutes for "Ralph" to walk his slow @Anonymous back to aisle 10 and get the price for a can of chicken noodle.
If the star aligned, it would only take 15 minutes.....tops. Now that was a good day.
And here when I read 'the old fashioned way' I thought you were going to talk about a knuckle buster:
