ID Theft

Is there any credit card protection when paying in a restaurant?

Do you use your credit card in restaurants? If so, what protections are available? I am worried about fraud.

1. If the charges are fraudulent, you are protected no matter where the charges are made. I also successfully got refunded by a credit card company when a waitress charged my card a $50 tip for a $29 meal at a restaurant recently. The credit card company didn't even hesitate.
2. There is none really. Restaurants are get places for disgruntled employees to snatch your information, especially if you're a bad tipper! You could get over credit protection ( http://www.getbrokequick.com/identity-theft-protection.php ) to protect yourself from all kinds of credit card theft, not just restaurants.
3. You can dispute the charges with the CC company and probably win
