Just turn off showing your birthday on fb. Only your real life friends will know it's your birthday. But people like the fake acknowledgement, and love it when 100+ posts hit their feed.
I change my birthday on fb for this reason halfway through the year for double the acknowledgment.
Nobody notices
I pay with a card inside the station. Had my card stolen 3 times in a year when I paid at the pump and never again since I stopped.
Serious question on the 3rd time, were you in disbelief or kinda expecting it since paying at pump is sorta asking for it to happen? (happened to me once on debit card and royally screwed up all my auto-pay bills, power, cable, everything went to hell since I didn't know for 3 months)
I didn't put together what was responsible right away. The first time I had just bought something from a tiny online shop if never heard of before so I assumed that was it. And the second time there was enough other activity that I wasn't sure. But the third time the gas station was the only purchase outside of **** on Amazon
