They are breaking the law. (Assuming it is an electronic receipt)

FACTA, The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 prohibits the practice of showing full card numbers.

There *is* a small loophole - but it ends at the end of this year.

Any machine in use before Jan 1, 2005 has 3 years to be fixed. This is the loophole - they have until December 31st, 2007. - in 3 months, it'll close.

Any machine in use AFTER Jan 1, 2005 had 1 year - that loophole has been closed for a while.
