This is a really disappointing non-apology. I’m even less inclined to shop at your store after seeing how you completely dismissed a legitimate complaint about a racist interaction by accusing a BIPOC customer of being too judgmental. Please learn from this experience and do better.

Thanks -- if I call, I'll just ask if they have it and not go any further. I've already disputed the charges and canceled the card. The CC company were the ones who asked me if I'd made a police report -- but I don't feel right doing that when I have no proof and there could be another explanation.

Yes, I was handed a card reader to do the tip and was texted the receipt. At that point I would normally have been given the card and put it in my wallet. Hindsight has me seeing the interaction with some suspicion (the friendly distracting conversation was with another employee), but I think the other poster's suggestion just to call and see if they have it there would be the way to go (if anything).

The only question I’d ask the restaurant is if they have your card there in the lost and found as it’s the last place you used if/saw it.

If you haven’t already when they informed you of fraudulent charges, report it to your credit card company lost/stolen, dispute the charges you didn’t make, and get that card cancelled/a new one reissued. Your credit card company is your best bet here.

The police definitely won’t do anything for a lost/stolen credit card. They won’t do anything for break-ins, robberies, shootings, murder…so yeah.

Because in the “housing” those vouchers provide, the people are treated like prisoners and can be expelled onto the street for a minor infraction of policy. Tent life is infinitely more stable and thus safer for a long term houseless person. Again, this is just from talking to some tent residents in the neighborhood near me, but i think it’s very important to note that these people aren’t being unreasonable by wanting stable housing. We need a better solution
