‘This is a major violation’: Hotel might face $70 million fine after employee discovers they keep guests' credit cards in system after they leave

Any front desk employee can tell you that more often than not, some fishy things are happening behind that counter. Even the most prestige establishment can get entangled in some ugly business. With that being said, it can be worrisome to think about the fact that many of these establishments have repeated access to extremely personal information of their clients.

Like the hotel in this Reddit story. A front desk clerk wrote to Reddit with the concern that her hotel was doing wrong by its guests. She tells Reddit that the hotel policy is forcing her to scan the guests' credit card information and store it indefinitely. The concerned employee admitted that she encountered a lot of suspecting guests who don't like that policy, and now she doesn't know what to do. The comments to this post, made her aware of the fact that not only is this policy fishy, but it is completely illegal and can result in a fine of millions of dollars.
