At least in the EU you will not find a legit place with magnetic reader anymore. It's all NFC and chip now. The problem is, that you bank details are readable in clear text on the mag stripe, without any security whatsoever

If they insist on using the mag stripe: find a different shop. If you bank even issues cards with them anymore
