So by pushing that button they can charge your $50 lunch to each and every card in that thing? That's something you could easily overlook, especially if the bills go to different locations at different times.
The easier it is to use, the easier it is to rip you off.

Just another example of what has been discussed repeatedly. What was available even 20 years ago. And what was all but restricted from America by the so powerful Visa/MasterCard lobby.

Recent events in Target have finally forced the issue. Since everyone has long had too many cards with the least security possible. American credit card users are best Targets for thieves.
