I've always felt uncomfortable with having my card swiped twice. Next time it happens to me, I'll challenge the cashier.

In most card transactions in Indonesia, the customer’s debit or credit card is swiped both on the Electronic Data Capture (EDC) machine as well as the merchant’s cash register. According to Indonesia’s central bank Bank Indonesia (BI), the latter method actually poses a security risk.
BI recently issued a reminder that they had introduced renewed banking regulations last year prohibiting merchants from using customers’ cards for any other purpose than to facilitate a financial transaction.
