The Hangar

Not a place to visit if you want to keep your personal info safe.

Went there with a friend to ck it out. Well, we sat down and ordered a few beers, I gave my credit card and id to "bartender" (didn't know what Merlot was) and I see her take my id and cc and make a copy of both. Mind you I never authorized such thing, so later on I asked the bartender why she made a copy and she said it was their policy. I told her that i would like that copy bk after i finish paying because i didn't want to leave my personal info just like that. She told me she needed to get "her". I guess she was either the manager or owner. (heavy set lady that was there).

Lady comes out and tells me they make and keep copies of both the I'd and cc for their own safety. I asked her, what about my safety? She said it was to mk sure the cc wasn't stolen and, as I was trying to mk my point, she rudely interrupted me and said if I wanted the copy I had to pay cash... I told her, I couldn't believe she was giving me an attitude and to let me finish. Sarcastically, she said, "go ahead" and I told her that i gave my id for that same purpose, so they can verify the cc wasn't stolen. She said that some guys dispute the charges because they are married and the wives found the cc bill. Of course, I agree to pay cash as I wasn't going to leave that copy there.

I don't care what their reasons are I don't feel comfortable leaving my personal info out there for anyone to see considering how id theft and cc fraud are nowadays. Not once I was told about their policy (or was it written somewhere) so if I wasn't paying attention and noticed that a copy was made who knows where my personal info would hv ended up.

As a former Marine and having witnessed so many frauds I wouldn't trust my info to be passed from hand to hand without knowing what's gonna happen with it or how many people would hv access to it. Is it going to be in a safe and shredded after no dispute have been made or is it going to be sold in the black market? I don't know but I sure didn't want to find out.

Needles to say, I will never go back and wouldn't recommend this place unless ur gonna pay cash. Your security is more important than their policy so if you feel comfortable leaving your cc #, expiration date, name, address, dob, license num., etc. then, by all means, be my guest.
