- Since this is a similar problem with gas stations and credit cards,
- it's here instead of it's own post...
-
- Anyway, many stations now allow you to use your credit card right at
- the pump. This is convenient, BUT... make sure you grab your receipt
- (at least from the Mobil pumps) as it has your credit card number
- right on it!
-
- I know that Exxon pumps ask you if you want the receipt to be
- printed... that should help.
-
- I guess Mobil will figure this out eventually. At least three times
- over the last year I have gotten 2 receipts out of the pump... mine
- and the last guy's... lucky for him I'm relatively honest.
