I've seen this quite a bit up here in Reno. Yet up here we have no
anti-identity theft, let alone other information security legislation.
 
My solution is to cross out with a pen all but the last 4 digits and the
expiry date on BOTH copies of the receipt. This has infuriated a few
local vendors, though it seems that most are easily educated on the
liability it poses.
