As for the station protecting me from fraud... That is a joke. Any fraudulent charges are NOT charged to me. The card company or station pays them. I have yet to see a chip equipped card reader at a gas station. So that makes the station liable for the fraud.
Bottom line.... Some stations are inconveinencing their customers because they will NOT install the equipment needed to prevent fraud. NOT because they are trying to protect me.
You're kidding yourself if you think you're not paying for credit card fraud. Who do you think pays? The credit card companies aren't losing that money. They're like any other corporation and passing costs onto consumers like you. For one thing, it's part of the difference between the cash and credit price at the gas station that's inconveniencing you. :)
