The late to the game are still trying to get your cash!

Don't be afraid to hit the cover of the atm reader at the check out line.
Should be a standard daily check at the beginning and end of each day, but peop[le get complacent.

good luck
What does "hit the cover of the atm reader" mean? I've heard of them being installed over the CC slot on a gas pump, but I'm trying to imagine the state of lawlessness that must exist in Massachusetts for it to be possible for someone to walk in and install one on a reader in the middle of a busy super market.

Is there some new kind of CC stealer small enough to be installed with nobody noticing the installer? What does hitting it do? My CC barely works in tap mode as it is. I don't see how they'd be able to pick up my CC from even farther away than the real reader.
