Actually it was the manager who demanded that she return it and as it was MY party, he told her she should not have accepted it and she would be fired if she ever did such behavior again. He then not only comped my meal but also the person to whom she put the "used" dish to.

The technology is there, it is just that we had so many more cards than Europe and Canada "had" that they are phasing them in on all new cards.

I was at a Harris Teeter grocery store and the person behind me put the divider up and his groceries and a little black box next to the divider. Having a hunch what it was, I picked it up and showed it to the manager. They arrested him. So beware, the scanners are out there
