Make sure the credit cards in your wallet at yours

A man at a local restaurant paid for his dinner with a credit card.
The bill for the meal came, he signed it, and the waitress folded the
receipt and passed the credit card along. Usually, he would just take it
and place it in his wallet or pocket. Fortunately he actually took
a look at the card and, lo and behold, it was an expired card of another
person. He called the waitress immediately and she looked perplexed.
She took it back, apologized, and hurried back to the counter under
the watchful eye of the man.

All the waitress did while walking to the counter was wave the wrong
expired card to the counter cashier, and the counter cashier immediately
looked down and took out the real card. No exchange of words - nothing at all!
She took it and came back to the man with an apology. Verdict: Make sure the
credit cards in your wallet at yours. Check the name on the card every
time you sign for something and/or the card is taken away for even a short
period of time. Many people just take back the credit card without even
looking at it, thinking that it has to be theirs.
