that happened to me long time ago (before the chip card), they ask me to give them the card so they can call Chase or AMEX, to get an pre-approve/authorize number for the amount I purchased, then tell me slid the card , which it get authorized again for the same amount, my card fraud alert kicked in, denied the charge. by the second time, I talk to manager, I tell them I believe that cashier is calling a phone number that is not Chase nor AMEX, they just have other end write down all my card's info, they can use it or sell that later, I wanted their Corp office or Manager to investigate this instant, and I like to make a police report in case my CC info is been stolen. Manager insured me this is their store policy and they are calling credit company.( which I already know) but after that day, they never called CC for pre-Approve again.
