OKLAHOMA CITY, OK (CBS Local) An Oklahoma waitress did not make a good first impression after being arrested for allegedly skimming credit cards on her first day at work.
Police in Oklahoma City say Rachael Tyler was caught on surveillance cameras taking several customer credit cards and swiping them without permission. The brand new waitress was reported by a manager at Twin Peaks restaurant, who caught the suspicious behavior.
She noticed one of the waitresses, she was actually a new waitress. Her first day on the job and had been taking credit cards, and appeared to be swiping them on something maybe in the pocket of her pants, Officer Megan Morgan told KWTV.
The manager claims that the 34-year-old was caught skimming at least four cards, but police were not able to determine the exact amount of information Tyler stole. OKC police added that they learned Tyler was also wanted in connection with white collar crimes in Tulsa.
Clearly, she uses peoples credit cards constantly to ring in payments, Morgan explained. Its a good thing the manager caught this before she could do more damage.
Officers said that its always a good idea to check your credit card statements after visiting a restaurant or bar for unauthorized charges.

Throw the book at her. These thieves are no better than those who pick pockets for a living.
Most places don’t teach that until at least the third day.
Think what she would have been doing by the end of the week.
I look at her records with her prior employers. This was premeditated and thought out in advance. Sounds like she had an account with “Square” and had a card swiper on her cell phone.
I’d hit the fake tan right off her.
This will not look good on a resume.
Looks like she tried hooking, and failed at that profession too.
Not her first rodeo, I’m guessing.
We had an office admin temp worker arrested in our office for stealing and passing fraudulent company checks.
She’d been with us for 3 days.
Meh...need to see more to pass sentence. Tending guilty unless she’s wearing daisy dukes.
Needed the money for more bronzer, I take it?
I pay cash in restaurants after having a prepaid debit card drained. At least it was only $100 and after a hassle I got the money back.
But I learned not to trust cards in restaurants.
And I never use a debit card linked to my checking account.
I work for a community bank. I pay cash in restaurants, too.
ID thieves should be summarily executed just like a horse thief used to get.
I try to do cash as much as possible.
And now there’s chewed food on my screen
