My husband and I have both done this with our credit cards and haven't had a problem since.

How to physically secure your credit card
It's a little more complicated than that when you factor in hackers who are, say, sitting in a foreign country (or even the US) and breaking into companies' files, as happened in Target. There are many more ways to have your cc info stolen, which is why I don't believe it's necessarily being done by an employee at the last place you frequented.
