Nice but also be careful. As long as they hand it back quickly thats OK since that is how the fraud happens. I am not saying the people at BK are fraudsters but you never know. I did a quick stink in banking - 2 months a long time ago lol (not for me). I remember customers give me their debits cards for transactions and after looking at it, I am able to pull the card number from memory with out asking them I need it to pull out their accounts the next time they come in. I did it from memory. I don't know if people have memory like that so be careful.
I never lost sight of the card (it was only for a few seconds) and she only looked at the front so she didn't even see the numbers. Believe me I wasn't born yesterday and knew exactly where everyone was standing, where their hands were and where the card was at all times.

Some folks who I'm talking about are the ones who come into my work place, look like they just got out from living underneath a bridge (you wouldn't even think they have a penny to their name), very nice and modest attitude, whip out an AMEX or even a normal debit card, and later see them get into a Maserati. That's true old money class right there to me. Now the idiots on the other side of the spectrum that give the illusion they are something.... 98.9% aren't and don't have a pot to **** in, lol.
From coming in a upper class town, I can honestly say one thing: Just because you drive a new BMW or Benz does NOT mean you are wealthy-- for all I know you could be struggling to make payments and are up to your head in debt.
I worked as a chase bank teller years ago when I was in college. I worked in a very rough neighborhood in the Bronx where people did not normally have much money. One day some guy came in and he had a debit card that was only given out to the very top customers. It was the only time I had seen that card (even though I was trained to recognize it) and this guy living in a lousy neighborhood had an extremely large amount of money in his account. So you really never know what people have or don't have.
@red259, you're right.. I did not want to be "oh here in New York City" kinda guy! Maybe these two girls are just 3 years late and this is it.
What debit card was only for rich Chase people? Platinum Premier Debit Card? Grey-ish?

Unless it earns rewards, I've lost interest.

Umm no. This was quite some time ago and they had different types of debit cards, which were connected to the amounts on deposit. I forget what it was, but not everyone had this debit card. There was the normal debit card which most people had, but there was another one which flagged the customer as an important client. I only saw one in person. Again this was long ago.
