Ensure customers take their cards back after payment at retail outlets

On Dec 12 at 12pm, I paid for a purchase at an electronics store using my credit card. Unfortunately, I forgot to remove my card from the card reader at the counter. Three minutes later, my card was used to make a $199 payment. I realised my card was missing only when I was about to make payment at a supermarket in the same mall. At 12.40pm, I went back to the electronics store, and a staff member returned my credit card to me. I suggest that cashiers at retail outlets help to ensure that credit cards and debit cards are returned to the customer when the receipt is issued. I hope my case is anĀ isolated one.
