when it asks for your pin, hit cancel and it should give you payment type options.

If it has a Visa or Mastercard logo (Discover and AmEx don't play yet, as far as I know), then it can be entered as a credit card. No PIN should be required.
Actually, that'* kinda of the point of them running them through Visa and Mastercard, so that as far as the retailer is concerned, it'* just another credit card.

The second time was more coincidence than anything... but anyway, the rule of thumb - use CASH at places like gas stations, or small shops. You should be good to go if at a major supermarket retailer, or the like. It'* easy to put card readers and PIN readers on smaller, dodgy businesses...

A lot depends on what type of software a company uses to process the transactions.
