I travelled to the US from Canada recently and was super confused when I didn't need to enter my PIN. Was also really confused about giving away my credit card to bartenders

At least credit cards are... on credit. You can usually just stop a transaction if someone makes unauthorised use of your credit card. If this also happens with debit cards, your in more trouble. Than the money is just gone.

Fortunately in the US debit does generally require the PIN and always has even before chips.
