Went to McDonalds to get some breakfast today and the girl at the window took the card, brought it inside with her and closed the window. I was kind of shocked that she had grabbed it, rather than hand me the machine to us my card with, so I got her attention and tell her to give my card back. She did, and gave me a receipt with it.

Of course, I never entered my PIN, and the people at both windows assure me nothing is wrong and there is just a new Interact system, as we drive away.

Anyway, so I am trying to get a hold of McDs to figure out why with this system are they taking my card, since I have no way of knowing how many times they charged something to it, and for all I know I just brought them all breakfast.

My main question to CP is this: What kind of system is this, is it something my bank has set up and I didn't notice? Can I get it turned off, since the idea of someone charging my account without a PIN is not acceptable to me?
