Was it ever proven that this occurred at Bravo's???
Sad that a thread, nearly a year old, that may be false was raised from the dead to put once again a bad light on Bravo's.

Your credit card provider will cover any fraudulent charges for you. If you use a debit card YOU are responsible for any fraudulent charges and the bank will not refund your money. I had the same thing happen on a previous visit to TV. I strongly suspect that it was our waitress at Codys that captured the credit card number since the fraud started shortly after a visit to that establishment. The businesses cannot be blamed for what crooked employees do but should be more careful about who they hire. I have my credit card company send and immediate email to me when any charge over $.01 appears. I was using my email when I saw the first fraudlent charge pop up from TN and immediately called the credit card company security who shut down the account and issued a new card to me. I now keep an eye on wait staff when they have my card.

How can you "keep an eye on waitstaff" when they take your cc and walk away with it? This really need to change. US restaurants need to get the card readers that waitstaff take to the table so your cc is never out of your sight. Public pressure... Like maybe paying for your $12.95 lunch with a hundred dollar bill, and then telling the manager why!

This is a [B]VERY GOOD IDEA[B]. Both my wife and I had our cards compromised in December but, it was before we had ever been to TV and...neither of us used our cards at the same location. I always have an uneasy feeling when they walk away with the card. Anyone using Lifelock? Are they as good as they say they are?
