I've seen this quite a bit up here in Reno. Yet up here we have no anti-identity theft, let alone other information security legislation. My solution is to cross out with a pen all but the last 4 digits and the expiry date on BOTH copies of the receipt. This has infuriated a few local vendors, though it seems that most are easily educated on the liability it poses.
