At least you realized you didn't get your card back. I wonder how many people drive off without theirs.

You just can't be too careful anymore. You never know when an employee might "forget" to give a customer their card back. I'm not saying that's what happened, mind you.

At the store where I work one of the cashiers didn't give a customer their card back and used it herself. Of course, she was caught. What an idiot.

And you're right. Someone could have grabbed it and taken off with it.
