Mysterious contactless transaction on Discover card [View all]

Recently my Discover card had a transaction on it I didn't make. It was for a small amount in a drugstore I've never even heard of in a state I've never been to, about 600 miles away. I reported it electronically and got back an email telling me to take it up with the merchant.

I called Discover and the representative said it was a contactless transaction, Which I understood from her meant that the Card had been tapped. I could tell she didn't believe I hadn't done the transaction, though she didn't outright say it.

She said they would get a copy of the receipt from the merchant and send it to me.

I'm the only person who uses this card and there is no duplicate to the best of my knowledge.

WTF is going on? Any of you ever experienced anything like this?
