      Not a lot of fraud or identity theft from the waiter taking your card to charge your meal, no.

      Probably there are some rogue waiters who try to use a customer’s card to buy personal things for themselves, but I’ve never heard of it happening to anyone I know personally

      I’ve seen Americans discussing paper shredders as standard appliances everyone has because they are afraid of identity theft.
