 Dangerous Practice - Ambo
We Ambos depend a lot on taxis and frequently chat with cabbies. A recurring topic is the accepted practice of many of the local elderly of calling a taxi, handing the cabbie a list and PIN and asking him to go shopping for them.

I imagine this is safe enough in that it would be more than a cabbie's job is worth to cheat. But if something does go wrong the card's bank would surely refuse to pay any compensation, given that a PIN had been communicated to a third party, against frequent warnings in the press against this. The bank might even block the account on the ground that the holder had proved irresponsible.

What do you think?
