I've learned the hard way, but never make debit purchases at gas stations


Or online (I would hope this is even more evident!)

We don't shop at Walgreens. I can't even remember the last time i was in a Walgreens store.


My wife had her purse stolen out of her locker at work a few years ago. The thief then proceeded to hit every Walgreens from Shreveport to Dallas buying up cigarettes diapers, and formula on her debit and credit cards. We took a day off of work to go and file police reports at each and every town the thief hit. Apparently they like using Walgreens because they have extremely shitty surveillance cameras.

Transferred money from our savings account to checking.


How are they able to do this with a skimmer? Seems like they would need a password.

they get your card number and pin number. I'm assuming that's all they need to make transfers over the phone.

wanted a normal priced coffee the other morning so I went inside to get one. At 6:30am the dumb asses had just stated making the coffee. Out of what 6-7 different kinds of coffee NONE were made.


This is why I haven't been there in a month. Used to stop every morning before six for coffee for my drive. After the second time I went and they didn't have any they lost my business. Place was always packed with people getting coffee and I guess they just decided they didn't want to do shite before 6:30.

This station always has the cheapest gas by a long shot of anyplace in town, it also has the trashiest people there all the time, after the third time of me being there and a crackhead asking for money, I realized it was worth the $1.50 more to go to a gas station with less trash
