What are you going to report to the manager? That you don't remember getting your card? You probably left it on the table and some random picked it up.

Don't get the employee in trouble for something you don't know wasn't your fault.

I wasn't at a table. I never sat down, or put anything on a counter. And I wouldn't be getting anyone in trouble because I don't know who the two employees who were helping me were.

Even if you don’t intend to get them in trouble, the manager could easily figure out who was working if you called in and gave them info on your transaction.

True, thanks. I'm not going to call.

I’m not quite following. You handed someone a card…but weren’t handed a card reader or a receipt to sign for the meal/drink? How? There needs to be proof of purchase given or displayed to you in some way.

Yes, I was handed a card reader to do the tip and was texted the receipt. At that point I would normally have been given the card and put it in my wallet. Hindsight has me seeing the interaction with some suspicion (the friendly distracting conversation was with another employee), but I think the other poster's suggestion just to call and see if they have it there would be the way to go (if anything).

You usually pull your card out yourself when handed the card reader in that scenario.
