Actually do a little homework - there are lots of instances of restaurant employees swiping card numbers. Very easy to happen when they're out if your sight. Some restaurants (smart ones) have started using portable swipe units that can be done at the table right there so the card never leaves your sight and there's no opportunity for this to happen.

I don't like credit cards and only have one now which I pretty much never use. I much prefer my debit card since it's real money and it tends to deter stupid / impulse purchases when thought of that way.
