I did not contact the store directly because as soon as I saw the charge all I could think to do was call my bank. They of course will be in touch with the store to get proof of the charge. One thing I did notice tho was on Saturday nite myself and 3 other friends had dinner at El Patio and the full card number printed out on the charge slip. I think this is how the store was able to charge me the second time after I had already left. I normally do carry cash, I just happened to fly down a day earlier than planned and didn't have time to go by the bank. Anyway, I learned a valuable lesson and will definately have cash in the future.
