...when using a credit card you're supposed to ask for I.D. In fact, the majority of people these days don't sign the back, they write in bold letters "SEE ID." I've had a gentleman come by who worked for Visa and thanked me when I asked for his ID. I told him the story about the woman, he told me he's had a few people call and complain about it to which he had to tell them there was nothing wrong with it... Think about it. Someone walks into a store, buys $5,000 worth of merchandise. Pays with a credit card that's got a name and signature on the back, no other means of ID. There's no way for me to know that person is actually who they say they are just because a piece of plastic has a name on it. I'm guessing you've never had your credit card stolen to appreciate when people check to make sure.. Sorry, but I have to deal with people giving me shit on this every day when I ask for ID. My frustrations not towards you, it's towards society!
