Hello,
I've finally got a Debit card to withdraw some egold =D
I was wondering about POS (Point Of Sale) (I assume it means using the card directly at the shop). I've heard that it's bad to use the card for POS and that you should instead withdraw some cash from an ATM. Using POS supposevely leaves "paper trails" or something which you would not want if you're concerned about privacy (or trying to dodge taxes, which I'm not :P).
Is this true?
Sometimes you see in the movies that the clerk cuts the card in half? Why do they do that? Can that happen to my debit card?
Thanks :)

I ran into this several times while I was a night manager at a motel.

Thanks, thanks, Wally! :D
Phew, they only cut credit cards, good to know :)
About the paper trail, that is what I thought, I don't understand why some people keep insisting not to use POS.
Thanks again :)
