Give that girl a cheeseburger.

Too skinny to be working at the Mugs 'N Jugs

I doubt I’d be caught dead or alive at a place with that name

I'm sure that is what some of these girls counted on. The husband gets scammed for a couple hundred bucks and then has to decide whether he makes a big deal out of it and risks trouble in his marriage or lets it go.

While each state has it’s plentiful share of white trash, I believe that Florida is the white trash epicenter.

I know the joint...right across the street from the Shades’N Blades discount emporium.

“the info on the card strip is not encrypted??”

Nope, credit cards are not high-security. The system was designed before they could be scanned from a distance, so basically, it was assumed that only people you gave the card to could get your information. Times have changed.

Fortunately, you can protect yourself from this with one of those credit-card holders that is made of metal, or if you are cheap, just make a little pocket-folder out of tin foil and keep them in there.

Incorrect. The metal box does NOTHING

You are confusing RFID with the magnetic strip. You cannot read a magnetic strip from a distance - for that you need RFID (Radio Frequency Identification Device).

A skimmer is a small, hand-held device that you slide the card through, just like the register - just smaller and intended for illegal activities.

I see she comes with factory air.

We ate at our favorite fish joint and when they took the card to pay the bill, he disappeared into another room. A week later a charge appeared on the bill for over $1200 for box seats at a Giants game.

We got the money back and they went out of business.

Never, never lose sight of your credit card.

I always pay in cash at restaurants. Your card leaves your sight, so you have no idea what will happen as evidenced by this article.

I’ve eaten there a few times..though she does NOT look familar..it’s an OK burger and brewskis place..

[Boogieman]

Ah, I assumed that they were scanning RFID-enabled credit cards, you are correct.

[Doomonyou]

LifeLock!

And folks wonder why I use cash..... >PS
