went to the local home improvement store that I go to ALL the time. Black stocking cap, shades, long sleeve black and blue plaid shirt, black boots....looked like a NY gangster. Now, I went to the same lady as usual....handed her my debit card, normally she hands it back and says have a nice day....not this time, asked for my ID, held my card and ID while I signed the receipt and checked that all signatures matched ..didn't know that I was looking that shady ...glad to see she is looking out for me though..... ...good people in the country but, you got bad everywhere...JKE out....@ 1543.

 

That's a coincidence,.....she gave me the same treatment when I handed her your card.........go figure.......

It's nice to see someone take pride in doing a job correctly.

 

Thanks for posting this, I will wait a few days before I try to buy something on JKE's account

 

So....is that REALLY a good thing or is that a bad thing....commonly called profiling?? I'm all for them checking signatures and stuff, but they should do it for everyone....not just the guy that looks like he's up to no good.

 

OK MEN....go easy on the account ....guess you kinda got a point there....I think she mostly did not recognize me. She kinda knows me from going in there so much...she may do that to everyone else that she doesn't know

just struck me as funny....have a great day men...JKE

 

I have "see photo ID" on all my cards, and I probably get checked every other time . Drives me absolutely nuts!!!!

 

Yea but what if you forget your Drivers license??? then your screwed!

 

So what happens if the cops pull you over? no drivers license and your screwed

 

not really...I have just given the officer my DL # and he ran it. everything matched to the reg and insurance...speeding 60 / 45...clean record, no problem, have a nice night and remember to keep your DL on you......maybe other states are more strict ...

 

It may be an inconvenience (when you forget it at home) but I would rather have them check me every single time. I would really like it if they would check the hoodlum that lifts my credit card !!!

I use my wifes charge card and very, very rarely get questioned about it. While that is convenient for me... it doesn't leave me with a warm fuzzy feeling that when I misplace or have the credit card stolen that they will catch it.

Did you read the Darwin Awards where the clerk did question the guy about not having the signature on the back of the card to match to the receipt ?? When he signed both of them (at the same time) .... wouldn't you know it, they both matched .... have a nice day.
