This doesn't need to be expensive -- The grocery delivery in Calgary
simply billed you when you showed up. They didn't take cash, just a
swiped card and signed receipt for a credit card, or a debit card + pin
(this is real debit, not the Visa --> debit gateway the US has.)

Even less fraud potential since they didn't accept cheques, and have a
confirmed address.
