Question Recent event - An illegal procedure?

**Mods - Please move it to the right section if it's not here

I stopped at a Shell station to fill up on gas half way from my house to the airport one early morning last week. It was like 5am. I was the only one there.

I went inside to pay with cash. The cashier (a young man) asked if I had Air miles card, to which I answered no. That's when I saw him do something suspicious - He picked up another air miles card right next to the barcode scanner and scanned it...

It's safe to assume that was his card. Now if he did that with me, we can all assume that he's done it with others. Seriously, that's racking up some massive points!

Is that legal?

On a side note, a close relative of mine has had an air miles card that he's used for the past 15 years for groceries, dry cleaning and gas. He has 5500 points. At 20$/1 point, he's spent 110k to get that amount of points.

Wonder how long it would take this guy at this rate???
