So we do get people making sarcastic comments because we were one of the companies hacked. I hate those and I keep my mouth shut because my anger at having blame directed at me is infuriating enough to inspire statements that will get me in trouble. But some people are genuinely concerned and ask if it's alright to use their cards. I'm not angry at that, but annoyed that they think I can make some sort of promise. Duh--how could I? So I have been saying things like "I can't make any promises" and "You are taking a risk anywhere." The managers I've talked to seem ok with those statements. But yesterday I just got sarcastic and told some guy "You're asking me to predict the future? If I could I wouldn't be working here!" He thought it was hilarious. I'm just waiting for that one person who'll complain, though, that I'm not standing behind the company or some such.

I'd probably go with "All I can say is I haven't seen anyone mess with my point of sale system."
I've been trying to use cash more since POS breaches seem so rampant these days.Supporting the idiots charged with protecting your personal information.

Visa Card
I have 3 credit cards(One for emergencies in Canada, one for the same in USA and one I inherited - all with high credit limits) , I just applied for a new one with a low credit limit of $500 so I can use it in stores and the internet without worrying about being charged thousands of dollars if some store gets it computer broken into.

Quoth AccountingDrone View Postwe have all of 1 credit card - a "Star Card" which was the old Navy Exchange revolving charge account turned into plastic about 20 years ago. Only good on Navy bases."My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was sixty. She's ninety-seven now, and we don't know where the hell she is." - Ellen DeGeneres

Quoth AccountingDrone View PostRob hits our credit union on the way home Fridays and picks up the weeks money for groceries and fuel, and whatever we decide for entertainment money. We do have a debit card each -Everything will be ok in the end. If it's not ok, it's not the end.

I use my PayPal Debit MasterCard for just about everything. I get 1% back for purchases, which my bank doesn't give, and they stand behind me. As a matter of fact, i just received a replacement card, with an email asking me to activate it and destroy my old card due to possible compromise. so I have done that. nice and easy. i like simple.

My debit card has Visa's zero liability policy, since that's the type of card. Not sure if there are non-branded (no credit card logo) debit cards. I did have my debit card number stolen once, and I got all the money back.
One thing I did was purposefully turn off the overdraft protection thing they offer. So if I spend more than I have (though I never have done this) it will decline my card, instead of the bank covering it, then charging me a fee.Replace anger management with stupidity management.
