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? ...
Not sure but he is certainly violating some Shell / Air Canada policy or other. There was a similar case in the USA where some gas station employee was caught taking cash from customers but charging the purchase to his own credit card. Again, I am not sure if that was deemed illegal, maybe not, but he was in some trouble with employer / cc company.
