This may be true (the "secret" pin), but here in the US, we have a severe problem with organized crime installing skimmers on the gas station pump (and banks for that matter). These devices look like the real thing, and they even have a small camera to record your pin. If you go to a gas station, credit or cash.

huge difference as has been said (in the US anyway). There are federal laws limiting your liability if your card is lost or stolen. We've had to many large merchants get hacked that the # of cards stolen is in the millions. What you call a bank card, we call a debit card (I think, feel free to correct me). In the US, if someone fraudulently removes $$ from your account via your debit card, you are at the mercy and good graces of the bank.
Can't speak for Europe -

I will not accept a debit card.
If money's going to be at risk, let it be the bank's money. They're making a profit from the transactions so they can take the risk.
Besides, when it's their money at stake they work a lot harder to fix things.

Yeah, but the bean counters aren't pleased. It goes against their grain. Personally, I think they're wheat behind the ears, but they barley understand and resist with all their fiber. <sigh> What can you soy?

I say fire, the middle management white collard workers! The lower level wages kale in comparison to that of their competitors.

What a sheep joke!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
