Why is that insane? I think a more appropriate description would be "perfectly normal".

- justsid 3y agoBecause normally you aren’t supposed to just let strangers wander off with your credit cards.
- bongodongobob 3y agoI offer up 40 years of my life as a counter example. Maybe it's a bit city thing, idk, but this is not the norm where I'm from. You get the bill, put your card in it, they take it and run it, bring it back, and you sign the receipt.
- shiroiushi 3y agoRight, and while they're away, they take a photo of both sides of your card and then sell that to someone, who uses it for credit-card fraud.
- bongodongobob 3y agoHas never happened to me or anyone I know. And if it did, it's easy to prove it wasn't you and charge it back.
- shiroiushi 3y agoI guess it seems normal, just like in your country it probably seems "perfectly normal" to have people walking around with deadly weapons.
- voltaireodactyl 3y agoI’d hardly characterize it as “perfectly normal”, although it is definitely a frustrating issue that provokes a great deal of controversy domestically (and seems to induce strangely aggressive statements from a great many folks commenting from countries heavily reliant on American arms for protection from their regional neighbors). I can understand it being hard to reckon with when one’s primary understanding of government stems from a familiarity with countries founded in accordance with the desires of a handful of pre-existing, regional groups (as opposed to a country founded with explicit mechanisms by which new groups can achieve representation).
