or for that matter, anywhere where the card leaves your hands (e.g. a restaurant). At least with a credit card, all that can happen is that your card is shut down, and the onus is on the credit card company to fix it. With a debit card, even an innocent (idiotic) mistake, like someone running the approval for $3,000 instead of $30, can lock up your bank account (this happened to me at a very inconvenient time).
