This is interesting. Their stores didn't get breached, but their peripheral services did: gas pumps, restaurants, drive-up coffee shops.
35 states, 5.3 million credit cards. The breach was announced on the 14th and the investigation is in early phrases, but the store is confident that the check-out lanes and pharmacy terminals were not compromised.
This is what pisses me off about cavalier attitudes when I'm told "just swipe your card". I DON'T WANT TO SWIPE MY CARD! THAT'S WHERE MY CARD INFO GETS STOLEN! I'm just about ready to tell businesses that if I can't use the chip reader, I'm not buying anything and turning around and walking.
