That was too good!!!
For me, I never sign the back of my cards. If I should drop or forget one, duh...the person that finds it now has my signature. One time I when I used it, the cashier turns it over to see my signature and puts it down and asks me to sign it. I declined and explained why. She then calls a manager over and explains what had transpired. He looks at my card and says it's their policy that it must be signed or they can not accept it. I again explained to him why I don't and said "you know, never mind I'll go elsewhere to make my purchaces if they didn't want my money". He said to the cashier "have him sign this" and pulled some blank register tape out of the register. I signed it knowing it didn't prove a damn thing but to him, he was saving face. He then thanked me for my business and I said "neither of you even asked to see my driver's license, your comparing two signatures that I just wrote" and walked off. The more I thought about it, it really pissed me off. While that happened many years ago (when the card swipe was done by the cashier on the register) I still do not sign my cards, but now days the cashier doesn't even touch your card. You swipe it, you sign it and leave. Very rarely have I been asked for a D.L. to verify. When they do, I thank them for checking.
