How much can you really trust "customer ratings" though? As with most things praise is hardly recognised and bad experiences over exaggerated (IMO). Never had a problem with BT. You just need to know how to handle the help lines that are mostly just following scripts.

it's been a busy day... :o

I don't mean the silly burger bars and pubs but actual fish and chip shops...?

It's also important to point out who the "merchant" is. Not necessarily is it the shop you are in but the actual card processing company. There are many steps involved in card processing. To say merchants, if assumed to be the shop or seller, have full card details is not quite correct. In most cases they only have minimal access to such information. The issue is likely to come from the security of devices used ie. the chip and pin pads. If they don't meet PCI compliance then there is more risk to "hacking" to their system whether it being direct to the device or the ability to get on to secure details on a network/phone line for devices. However, not being PCI compliant does not automatically result in a retailer being subject to fraudulent activities. There are too many variables and possible people in the chain of exchanging monies electronically and typically everyone likes to blame someone else. Unless there is solid proof someone somewhere is responsible, finger pointing and assumptions should be avoided.

Ridiculous assumptions there! Do you really think those that happily tap away with their cards are above those that don't? To assume someone must be at risk because they don't pay by card? REALLY?

Careful, given the ratio of car owners to spaces in streets, the whole driving around finding somewhere to park adventure won't go away. Just means you'll have further to go and the neighbouring streets not with CPZ wont be happy either.
