In some restaurants it's the
manager that inputs the bill into the charge card system. So reporting it to the manager is of no help. He/she may be the thief.
You need to call the credit card company (bank fraud dept.) and give them the details. They will shut off that card and express you a new number. Then you have to update all your auto-charge accounts.
If VISA/MC/AE/DISC gets just one or two more like that (at Restaurant X) they will shut down their billing system until they find the culprit.
Never fear your credit card (number) being stolen. It's your debit card you don't want to hand anyone.
There is NO REASON you should hide who the restaurant is, as long as it's factual. So tell us.
