A debit card transaction affects the balance of your bank (or paypal) account.

You should *never* use a debit card *anywhere*. Why you might ask? "But they

Just wait until a drunken bartender, rushed register clerk, or malicious

waitress adds an extra digit to your transaction and you're suddenly bouncing

checks or being charged fees for your overdraft protection.
