Having worked in the service industry enough I can appreciate a business' need to protect it's time, I have also seen thousands stolen by employees who used the C.C.s of customers. The idea that I must submit my C.C. number over the phone to schedule a fifty dollar cut or be denied service is ridiculous and a bit insulting. I've never even stepped into the place, purchased any product or any service yet but my C.C. is demanded. If it was for an exeptionaly large dinner at a restaurant then ok, give the C.C. number. But for fifty dollars?! Elitist Nonsense.
