Surely fixing all of their credit card machines won’t be turn-key and happen over night.

It should happen within a time frame less than that of “overnight.”

When registers / card machines are turned on, they connect to basically what is a server that checks for communication, then runs a diagnostic on the machine, and then upload any software upgrades into the credit card machine itself.

Olive Garden screwed up by not having their card machine supplier fix the issue. That being said, the lawsuit is still ridiculous.

I think reader A.S. may have an imperfect grasp of the appropriate comparison. A better one would be: “So we should let freelance lawyers set themselves up as traffic cops and pocket the ticket revenue. Riiiiiiight.” There are a range of options other than bounty-hunting and legalization.

So we should get rid of the regulatory speeding laws, regardless of the potential harmful results. Riiiiiiiiiiiiight.

It seems like a trap. Surely fixing all of their credit card machines won’t be turn-key and happen over night. And there are going be those who will actually redeem their settlements. How many will use it as partial-payment on a larger bill and flip over a credit card to cover the difference? Ding! That’ll be another FACTA violation (in some instances).
