Immediately canceled that card

A few days ago I went into a restaurant to pick up an order that I had called in.
I paid using my Visa Check Card which is linked directly to my checking account.
The young man behind the counter took my card, swiped it, then laid it flat on the
counter as he waited for the approval, which is a standard procedure.
While he waited, he picked up his cell phone and started dialing. I noticed
the phone because it is exactly the same model I have, but nothing seemed out of
the ordinary. Then I heard a click that sounded like my phone sounds when I
take a photo. Now I’m standing there struggling with the fact
that this boy just took a picture of my credit card. Yes, he played it off
well, because had we not had the same kind of phone, I probably wouldnever
have known what happened. Needless to say, I immediately canceled that card
as I was walking out of the pizza parlor. All I am saying is, be aware of
your surroundings at all times.
