I'm not sure if the "thief" read your cad from the wireless, or if the restaurant employee read the information, and passed it on to someone else. But even at that, I accept the card in a customer's home, where there is no one else is around. As a matter of fact, i don't think I've ever had anyone accept my card with a square. Yet.

Wim,

I will never allow my credit card to be swiped or inserted into a wireless 
card reader. While on holiday this fall, my wife's card was read by someone 
with a wireless set up that was able to read the data when her card was 
inserted at the table in a restaurant. Starting the following day there 
were all sorts of purchases made using her card number. I would not 
recommend anyone use one to accept payment or to use one to make a payment. 
 From now on in restaurants or any place that uses wireless readers for 
their transactions will not be permitted to use it on my credit card. I 
will pay at the cashier or pay in cash.
