But, if you use a credit card, you can often recover the money. It really depends on what type of purchase you are making.

Another one taking the issue to a different context. You’re on here enough to know we’re talking about restaurants, gas stations, local activity. Not for work on your home or contractor services. Different beast. But using your narrative, when paying cash at any restaurant....where was your personal privacy and protection compromised. Unless you’re a lil ole lady with a big wide open pocket book purse with cash hanging out the opening!
