Round Table Pizza in the University Union took steps to protect customer privacy on Friday.

Round Table credit and check card receipts displayed the account number without blocking any numbers, compared to other campus vendors.

Most students discard receipts after eating and do not pay much attention to the details printed on the receipts.

“I always use my check card,” graduate student Melissa Camilleri said. “If I’m in a hurry, I just toss them out,” she said.

Round Table Assistant Manager Audrey Goddard said many customers complained about the issue to her.

The CSUS Foundation raised the concern with Round Table’s upper management late last week.

“Confidentiality, identity theft, and all those things are very important to the Foundation,” Marketing Services manager David Levy of the CSUS Foundation said.

Round Table Operations Manager Marc Watson said the outlet on the campus was the only one of 10 franchises owned by the firm Valley Pizza, Inc. that operated without customer protection.

“It kind of slipped though the cracks,” Watson said. “We do take the threat of fraud very seriously.”

The procedure to correct the problem took about an hour, Watson said. The credit card company had to re-program the machines, so the customer’s account numbers would be blocked out, Watson said.

The other vendors on campus who do accept credit cards and ATM cards for purchases block out most digits of the card number and expiration date.

The vendors in the River Front Center only accept cash or OneCards for transactions. Other vendors have merchant machines that accept both ATM check and credit cards that block out the digits for privacy protection.

Student Eddie Medeiros is happy that the problem has been addressed.

“It’s part of the franchise’s responsibility to secure your confidentiality,” Medeiros said.
