Chili's has a point of sale on each table and the customer runs their own credit card. The cost would be prohibitive for small business, but would eliminate this kind of scam.
Having to notify each company that you may have the credit card on file is such a nuisance, but glad the situation is resolved. Good for the credit card picking up on the strange purchase and addressing it immediately.
Did the restaurant offer to pay for a year of credit monitoring? The bank that carries our mortgage had it's records compromised. The bank is paying for one year of credit monitoring for us. We are notified if there are any changes to our credit report and they also give us updates when things remain the same. This may help to give you peace of mind.
