@hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange them walking off with your credit card & no tap to pay This one still bugs me. In the UK, there was an anti-fraud campaign in the ‘90s that pointed at this as one of the biggest sources of card cloning or outright theft (the simplest version just got a load of fake cards made and the waiter would bring back a fake card. If you noticed, they’d apologise and tell you they were mixed up in the back and bring the right one, if you didn’t then they had your card). By the time I was old enough to have a credit card, it was fully ingrained in me that you never let the card out of your sight, you never put it into a machine that isn’t already showing you the purchase amount. Then I went to the USA and having minimum-wage (minimum tipped wage, which is a whole other ludicrousness) staff just wander off with your card was normal.
