[Electronics-talk] [EXTERNAL] Re: getting your drinks atfastfood places

[Brent Harding]

I read some article online that Red Robin was going to be testing, and 
hopefully for them, rolling these out soon. I could see why the idea of 
handing someone your card and having them "disappear" with it seems risky 
because they say that some have swiped it through these little devices that 
stores for them to misuse later. I wonder now if we end up having to tell 
the waiter our pin number as well, which is probably worse.
