For the exterior locations, I'm a little paranoid about the security of their CC reader.

Right next to the Blockbuster store I mentioned, a year ago they discovered a compromised gas pump at a 7-11. The store is 24-7 and lit like a TV studio.

you got me thinking and a bit concerned, but, so far it is OK...

  First, when 2 Armenian street thugs electronically jack the local gas station in *your neighborhood (plus many others in the state), it's alarming. There's some sophisticated engineering in these devices.
  
  Secondly, Misha Glenny, author of "DarkMarket: Cyberthieves, Cybercops and You" was recently on Charlie Rose. He stated that our latest fighter jets have 30M lines of code in their systems, and that the predator drone system has already been compromised at least once. It's now all about cybercrime, cyberwarfare and cyberindustrial espionage.
  
  I have since forgone the use of the debit card, and do only cash or credit.
  
  Apologies for drifting the original topic.
