My dentist even. I'm told as leaving "you're done, your payment went through" without even being asked. I'm pissed and sick of it. Pharmacies, corner stores, etc
When you go online, forget about it! They take everything from everyone, from everywhere and you have no options to stop it. Then they share it and don't protect it.
