Slight note, my bank card agreement does not

Post #115,497 by boxley 8/26/03 10:08:01 PM Reply	Slight note, my bank card agreement does not allow a merchant to ask for my ID. If they do I get in High "Who the fuck are you"mode. I have a credit card that allows the checker to compare my sig and either make the sale or refuse it. If stuff is stolen it is because the card holder is not aware o the theft and doesnt report it. Keeping your 1 credit card maxxed out :-) prevents theft. You have much better defences against theft than a debit card. I love self checkout, I dont have to wait for the dumass clerk to finnish making a date for the evening, talk for 1/2 an hr to the mook in front of me because he/they are clueless and changing the tape when I arrive. I can enter a store, buy what I wish without ever interfacing with a minimum wage ghoul whose whole aim is to end the shift with the least work possible. thanx, bill America, Love it or give it back questions, help?

Problem then is if someone lets their kid use their credit card, the sig won't match. I wouldn't do that with my kid, I'd get him his own pre-paid credit card with a $500USD limit until he is old enough to manage his own money and pay off debts responsibly. Also don't they have cameras on those Self Checkout devices just in case someone is committing fraud or trying to steal something? Personally I think that credit cards should have a four number pin like ATM cards, without the pin you cannot charge on it. Someone steals your card, and it is useless unless you wrote your pin on the back or in your wallet they stole. *"Lady I only speak two languages, English and Bad English!" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"*
