Put your chip card quickly in and out three times, next the machine will tell you to “swipe your card”.

This even works in chip-and-pin systems, at least here in Australia. Makes me sad, I don't really understand why falling back to what we're trying to replace is considered a good idea :(

It’s easy to accidentally invoke paywave doing this, which is annoying when trying to text if a mag strip is faulty.
