Brian’s article gives tip on use of the Debit Card on the following:

-- Rental or security deposits.
-- Restaurants and bars.
-- Regular payments.
-- Wi-Fi hot spots.
-- Any retail outlet where you choose the "credit" option.

Debit cards are great financial tools, and it's easier carrying a card that a wad of cash. But debit cards shouldn't be used all the time — and the situations listed above should be at the top of your list of "no debit" zones in the future.
============================
We suggest that you always use common sense when addressing any financial use. For example, if you need to pay the bill at the restaurant by debit card, check ahead to see if there is the option of swiping the card or paying the bill on your way out with the card in your possession except when the waiter/waitress/checkout swipes the card.
