Restaurant Makes Big Mistake With Lost Credit Card
A lost credit card isn’t rare at restaurants. People will forget them on the table as they’re trying to leave or maybe it mistakenly falls out of your wallet. Getting your card back can be tricky. How do they get ahold of you? Typically, restaurants will have a lost and found area and you can look there.
What’s not as common? The restaurant posting the front and back of your lost credit card in an effort to find you. Sure, it’s intended to be friendly but once people on the internet started spending her money it wasn’t that nice of a gesture. Here’s more on the story.
Restaurant Posts Lost Credit Card On Social Media
According to WSAZ, a customer at a North Carolina café is facing thousands of dollars in unauthorized charges after she says an employee at the restaurant posted her lost credit card on social media!
It was the right thought. You want to find the person who the lost credit card belongs to. However, maybe you should have hid the numbers on the card and just shown the name. There are plenty of ways to hide all of that and still get the relevant information out on social media to find the owner. This was a very dumb decision. Now, it’s costed the customer more than a pretty penny.
According to WSAZ, Rhonda Deaver was leaving Smith’s Café in Kinston, North Carolina when she received a call from her bank alerting her that she left her credit card at the restaurant. Then, she turned around to go and get the card. When she arrived, she was told that they tried to locate her by taking photos of the front and back of her card and posting them on a local Kinston Facebook group. Unfortunately, that post did not block out her numbers. That means anyone seeing the picture has all the information they need to start spending on that card. By the time she got to the card people had already spent more than $2,000 worth of charges, per WSAZ.
She’s still in the process of disputing the charges. What a mess, having to do that is never easy and it should have never been an issue to begin with! I’m no stranger to leaving things at restaurants, but I’m going to be a bit more alert going forward.
Are These The Best French Fries In Fast Food?
It’s a timeless debate. Right up there with “is a hot dog a sandwich?” There may be no definitive answer, but it’s always worth discussing. Who has the best fries in all of fast food?
Everyone is entitled to their own option and taste (literally). However, let’s be honest, there can only be one winner. There’s only allowed to be one winner, and one fry declared the best above all the rest. One fry to rule them all.

Every Day Is Fry Day
When talking about the best fries in fast food, there are no shortage of options. That’s for sure. You’ve got your national big brands. Then you’ve got your local specialties. Then, there’s also the regional restaurants that aren’t in every state, but aren’t strictly in one city, either. We’re taking everything into consideration.
Of course, ranking the best fries in fast food is no easy task. Much like a snowflake, every list is certain to be different. I mean, they’re all on the menu for a reason. If they didn’t taste good they’d be long gone. It’s the same thing with professional sports. Even the worst player on the team is still incredible when you think about it.
I’m no stranger to fast food, the cashier at my local establishment recognizes me when I pull up in the drive-thru. It’s a blessing and a curse, I suppose. So, with that type of experience and dedication I think my list can be deemed credible and valid.

What To Look For In A Fry
Personally, I love a good crunch. A well-done fry is a fry well-done. I’m not big on wet fries or greasy soft fries. They’ve also got to be independently great. If you need ketchup or ranch in order to enjoy the fries then they must not be that great!
Consistency is key, as well. It can’t be one of those “oh one time I had them and they were fantastic, but ever since they aren’t great.” No one hit wonders here. The best fry in fast food has to be something you can depend on. It’s reliable and every time you drive-thru you know what you’re getting.
Let’s not delay. Here are my rankings of the best fries in fast food. You may agree with some, you may hate some of these picks. That’s totally up to you. I will say, some big names are off the list, and likely for a reason.

One word their curly fries can best be described as: iconic. Why not number one? They also offer crinkle cut fries. The worst type of fire of all the fries. Sometimes, I’ve even had to specify that I want the curly fries. It should be the only option.
