Legal Question in Business Law in Massachusetts

restaurant reservations

Is it legal to ask someone for their

credit card number when they just

want to make a reservation for a

table at a restaurant? I am offended

by this tactic.

Re: restaurant reservations

I would be too. Don't patronize them and tell them why. Tell them your friends will have a similar reaction...

Restaurant reservations/credit card information.

It is not a question of legality, as much as it is a question of privacy.

As a personal matter, I would be offended. You should ask the restaurant the reason for this.

You can also call your particular credit card carrier and ask them about their policy.

Let me know what happens.
