KY Authorities Have Discovered Card Skimmers in Retail, Grocery Stores
I don't classify myself as a paranoid person, but I've got to be honest with you, when I first learned of the existence of card skimmers, my paranoia amped up a bit.

Big Lots Shutting Down Stores Amid Financial Uncertainty
Big Lots is planning to shutter around 40 stores as the company opens up about their ability to continue. I've been shopping at Big Lots for as long as I can remember.
