Forgive my paranoia, but I wouldn't let my card out of my sight in such a place - the opportunity for someone to surreptitiously skim it is too great - sure, most people aren't criminals - but the inconvenience of being caught out even once would be a major hassle. One of the things I've noticed in recent months, using a Cahoot card, is that in a lot of places they have to manually enter the number, and, in others, use a chipreader (built in to their terminal) rather than a swipereader - presumably to make it impossible to use any old card with skimmed details on the magnetic strip.
