Citibank and Bank of America have more security features than Discover
with virtual account numbers -- you can specify a dollar and time
limit for each virtual card. Sometimes the single vendor feature can
backfire. One example is booking a vacation package with a travel
agency. They may forward your card number to the airline(s),
hotel(s), and other service providers to charge directly.

Does sound even better....but they're scumbuckets.

I'm guessing you're at the register and not in accounting...

Pretty good guess since the second sentence in the post was:

I work in a lumber yard at counter sales.

Ah, finally someone honest enough to tell the real reason.
