Gas station passing out credit card info on back of receipts

I'm a big fan of the concept of the three R's - reduce, reuse, recycle, but this one takes the cake.

With all we hear all the time about identity theft, this bozo (I'm referring only to the owner here) thinks it's OK to pass out complete credit card numbers with expiration dates, etc., as a free prize on the back of people's receipts - and since no one complained but this one troublemaker, well what's the problem?

Thank goodness for Kay Gordon, a woman after my own heart who didn't mind causing a ruckus with a bunch of complacent nitwits. At least the BBB and the sheriff's department didn't brush her off, too, which could certainly happen in some places or perhaps a few years ago in many places.
