Safe Checkout Tips at the Deli

Whether you're grabbing a sandwich or stocking up on essentials, here’s how to keep your payment secure at the counter:

💳 Use Contactless When Possible

Tap-to-pay options, such as Apple Pay and Google Pay, or contactless cards, reduce physical contact and limit exposure to card skimmers.

👀 Keep an Eye on Your Card

Never let your card out of sight. If a cashier needs to take it away, politely ask to handle the transaction together.

🔐 Shield Your PIN

When entering your PIN, use your hand or body to block the keypad from view. Even friendly places deserve cautious habits.

📵 Watch for Distractions

Scammers sometimes use distraction tactics near checkout. Stay focused on your payment and belongings.

🧾 Ask for a Receipt

Always take your receipt — it’s proof of purchase and helps you spot any suspicious charges later.

🧠 Trust Your Gut

If something feels off — a broken card reader, a request to swipe multiple times — pause and ask questions. It’s okay to walk away.
