I went to the Circle K store 6701, at 2455 South St Elgin IL and bought 30.00 worth of cigarettes and put it on my credit card. The cashier asked for my drivers license and proceeded to write down all my personal information on the back of their charge card receipt. She said that this was a new company policy to get all the information on purchases over 25.00 that just started. They do not need all of my personel information. I will never go to Circle K again. There are lots of other stations out there that do not do this.

If merchants do not have the new "chip" card terminals, they are help responsible for fraudulent purchases. They are taking the info to cover themselves. And to keep you safe from fraudulent use.

What's Wrong- so simple, but so brilliant. You should be running the Fed.

As a fellow cashier I can't tell you how many hundreds of dollars my company has had to eat due to charge-backs. Being right off a major interstate we get stolen credit cards from time to time hence why on larger purchases we card and make sure the name on the ID matches the name on the credit card. As for writing it down that's a little absurd and extreme but business is business, a company that keeps accepting stolen cards and not getting paid won't be a company for long...
