When I saw that film I remember thinking how outlandish it was for her to order pizza on the internet. Even if somehow that were possible, how could you just give a stranger your credit card details!? So, what, you pay a stranger and just hope your pizza arrives? Completely unbelievable.

Even these days I’m still kinda wary inputting my card details on internet lmao. And for good reason.

I mean, when you give them a number on the phone, the guy at the other end is just going to be putting the number in the same place the website does.

When you pay in-store with a credit card, probably same thing.

EDIT: Well, unless, for the last case, one’s using a cryptographic-signature-based mechanism, like the smartcard chip or wireless authentication. But if it’s a magstrip or someone punching numbers in…

That phobia is exactly why I’m still using that piece of crap like PayPal.
