Here's my guess as to how it happened: I frequently give my credit card to restaurant employees without a second thought. I trust them to use it to just pay for my meal, and not steal its data and offer it up for sale on an IRC channel. Clearly this trust is misplaced.

And your solution? I've heard of people walking with their servers to watch them ring up their bill. I think that's ridiculous.


While we were in the U.K. last fall, *every* restaurant we went to used wireless credit-card readers that were brought to the table, so that we never had to hand over the card. It seemed like some new law or standard required them to do it that way.
