I was at a gas station yesterday filling up when I had to go inside to pay with my debit card. THe guy asked for ID and I mentioned how inconvenient it is to not pay at the pump. To which he replied, "We had over $300 in charge backs last week, so we have to check all IDs now." WOW.
And last week my local dunkin donuts stopped taking credit cards altogether because of fraud and charge backs. Since I never carry cash that morning coffee will be missed.
Man what is going on - even the "physical world" is seeing a rash of fraud. Is the end near?
