Warning possible credit card fraud - Morrisons petrol station

in Credit cards
Just want to make people aware and warn them when filling up at Morrisons petrol station and using their credit card.
I recently used my Tesco credit card instore and receipt came out with some of my credit card numbers crossed. Fine not a problem. No security issue.
However, I then filled up at Morrisons petrol station and paid in kiosk using my same Tesco credit card and the receipt I was handed had my full 16 digit numbers, start and expiry date on show and not obscured.
I know many people just throw their receipts away as soon as they leave the kiosk but this is an alladins cave for many a fraudster.
After recent reports of fraud at a number of petrol stations I think we should be very careful about discarding receipts.
I phoned my local store manager and informed him about this and he said he would investigate this but thinks it is the card provider who is at fault as the machine takes the card details when processing payment. I also informed Tesco credit card fraud department also.
Can anyone let me know if your Morrisons petrol kiosk obscure credit card numbers or is this only an issue with my local, and also is it just this particular credit card (Tesco Platinum Mastercard)

Mine is obscured. They probably accidentally gave you the store copy, which does have the full number. Worth mentioning to the manager as it may be a training issue.0
