What you do not want to read in the Los Angeles Times
…that your waitress has been arrested for stealing credit card information from her customers.
April DuBoise was one of the friendlier servers at the westside Hamburger Hamlet that I patronize every week. It was fun to talk to her and she was good at her job. I hope she doesn’t get the crap beaten out of her in prison.

You did not mention if you had become one of her victims.
In fact, many of her victims may not even notice, as many thieves like this have become more savy in how they steal credit card information.
Many now use many cards for small purchases that stay below the radar on the credit card computers, and the charge blends it to the victims statement so even if they do look at it, (a majority never do) it will not stand out. They can continue to use the card as long as it is active.
The best defense for identity theft is self defense.

There’s a Hamburger Habit just two buildings away and they have better burgers than the Hamlet. Vote with your feet.

That place looks like a falafel house and is no place for a business meeting which is why I’m at the Hamlet weekly. Plus they upgraded the place. A new front door and the burgers now come with goat cheese. They also replaced the ‘firecracker’ fries with ‘mesquite’ fries. A nice touch.
