Twelve years ago I had my card number and PIN logged at a point of sale inside a shop. The authorities caught the ring and determined what happened was the shop was burgled a week before and a week after. The first time the thieves took a few items and swapped the card reader out for a compromised one. Then they burgled it again and swapped it back, now laden with hundreds of card numbers and pins.

"What's your threat model?" In a perfect world, purchases in person are contactless, authenticated with a mobile device. Until then, don't sweat the small stuff: you're not liable for any fraudulent charges on credit cards (US centric advice), and I don't suggest using debit cards (keep an ATM card just for cash access at ATMs).
