Random question to ask but I have never noticed this before when using my card to pay for something. I Was in a crappy run down restaurant before and paid by debit card using contactless.
The guy came over with the card machine and asked for my card looked at it and said “oh is it contactless” asked me to check the amount on the machine then I scanned the card for payment. It then printed 1 receipt out which he handed over to me. It wasn’t until later I noticed the receipt was displaying my whole 16 digit card number and expiry date it also said merchant copy on the bottom. Now maybe I’ve just never noticed this before but doesn’t a receipt normally only display the last few digits of a card number? And don’t most print a customer and merchant copy out? Is this normal or does it sound dodgy?
